As an autobiographical photographer, when the world feels uncertain, I find myself returning to the same place: the work. Not as an escape, but as a way to stay present, to pay attention, to make sense of what feels difficult to hold.
This August, I’m thrilled to welcome another storyteller who does the same, in her own unique and unmatched way… Aline Smithson will teach Mapping Meaning: Developing Photographic Work With
Purpose — a four-day workshop for photographers who want to slow
down and engage more deeply with their work. This program will focus on ideas, personal narrative, and the questions that sit just beneath the surface of the
image. The goal isn’t to produce more, but to understand more, to take your work further, and to do so in a safe space to explore your inner voice. Blenheim Park offers the kind of quiet that makes this possible — space to think, to look, and to
reconnect with your own creative voice. I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an unforgettable 4 day workshop. Part education, part retreat, part building your creative tribe. Link in Bio for details and to register.
