Course schedule

Each week is based on a theme. There will be an introduction video as well as instructions on the assignment related to it. The assignments will be a mixture of photographing, looking/reflecting on images, and journaling. As the videos and assignments will be provided in a digital classroom, it can be done on the participants own time, and then discussed during the weekly/bi-weekly zoom calls.

Week 1 — foundation of visual elements

This first week will be an introduction on what therapeutic photography is, looking at photography as reflection rather than performance, and exploring visual elements in how we see.

Week 2 — mindfulness

In solitude you can find renewal, rebuilding and rediscovering parts of yourself you may have forgotten. This week we will look at how photography can encourage us to slow down, connect with ourselves, and observe more intentionally our surroundings, which in return, reflect things of ourselves.

Week 3 — emotions

We will explore how photography can support us in processing emotions through looking at images from the past. Not only will we be looking at the emotions and connections from within the images, but also discuss how the environments and spaces shown in old photographs can take us back to a memory or feeling.

Week 4 — self portraiture

We will look at how we can introduce self-portraiture as a reflective and empowering practice, to give space to ourselves and our feelings. Not only will we look at traditional self portraiture, but also photos of us taken by others and metaphorical self portraits (photographing a quality of ourselves in something we see).

continuation

After the participant has completed the four introduction videos and assignments, they can continue the process with customized 1-1 sessions with me. This allows them to have a foundation and understanding of the different ways photography can be used as a therapeutic tool, while giving them the opportunity to dive deeper into an area or topic that resonated the most with them.

More details about the weekly schedule and preparation will be provided upon registration.

  • Absolutely not! This is open for everyone - as long as you have a curiosity in learning about the power of photography, that’s all you need! The workshop is not about technical photography or camera skills. Participants can use any images: phone photos, snapshots, printed images, or archival pictures. What matters is personal meaning, not artistic polish.

  • Anyone interested in creativity, self-reflection, or photography as a form of personal exploration. Whether you’re an artist, a curious beginner, or simply someone wanting to make sense of the past year, this space is for you.

  • The workshop isn’t therapy, but it draws from therapeutic photography principles — using images as tools for self-reflection, emotional awareness, and storytelling. It’s about connecting with your own visual world in a supportive, mindful, and non-judgmental way.

  • A camera from your smart phone is perfectly acceptable. If you wish to use a DSLR or point and shoot, that is also fine! Analog photography is welcome, but keep in mind you should have access to have them developed quickly in order to make the most of the course.

  • Yes! You can reserve a spot for someone or receive a printable gift voucher to share with them.

    Simply reach out, and I’ll take care of the details.

  • If you need more time, that’s totally fine! As they are partially self-guided with the digital classroom, it’s flexible when we do the 1-1 sessions. It can be every week, every couple weeks, or if you need to delay one for a few weeks - then it’s all possible, it just might depend on my availability at that time too, so the flexibility would go both ways ;)
