Workshops
Since 2012 I organize workshops with teenagers in high-schools. The aim is to develop their skills as visual storytellers and to encourage them to express themselves through photography and to let their fantasy flow. They learn how to create a photographic serial, how to select smartly and they enhance their technical understanding.
The range of topics is wide: self identity, architecture, role models in publicity adds, street art, portraits, light and shadow... Have a look to some pictures of my students!
The workshops include 2 or 3 units, depending on the teachers need and time

This photo workshop on the subject of gratitude offers young people the opportunity to express their own creativity and at the same time turning their focus more inwards. Especially in today’s fast-paced world, the students are confronted with such a mass of images and information that it seems all the more important to align and focus again. Practicing gratitude is a powerful tool for coming back to the here and now and bringing our attention to what is.
In the second part we work with professional cameras, studio lighting and different backgrounds so that the students get their first insight into a professional photographic studio setting.
The theme of gratitude is further developed by creating portraits/friendship pictures with the focus to reveal the true positive character of each student.
Enjoy the video!
Story
How it all started
I started teaching workshops 2012 in Sri Lanka, where I was awarded for the artists in residence project by an NGO located in Vienna. It was an incredible experience to teach Sri Lankan youngsters to see their world through a lens, and I got to learn a lot from my students too. Back in Vienna I started with the workshops in high schools and it brings me lots of joy.
