“The course experience with China was incredible, a completely different approach from anything I had done before. We explored themes like self-awareness, meditation, and exercises to enhance the creative process. It was an invitation to view photography as a deeper act, where inner, unconscious elements come into play. The tools we worked with allowed me to approach photography from a more genuine place. I still revisit the material today, and it continues to support me in developing my own style and identity.”

“This course helped me trust in my voice, encouraged me to value my authenticity, and showed me that there's no single way to interpret or express art. Their guidance opened the door for me to explore this beautiful world where photography and writing meet , and for that, I’ll always be grateful.”

“A year ago, I signed up for a workshop led by two women — one whose photographic work and writing had captivated me, and another I didn’t know yet but whose talent with words continues to amaze me. Although I come from a different world (I study nursing), I was welcomed with open arms. Despite feeling out of place at first, I gained so much valuable insight and was reminded that what I have to say matters.”
