photoSCHOOL | Workshop | Chantal Convertini
In this course, I share my personal story about how I discovered self-portraiture, why self-portraits mean so much to me, and how they eventually became an essential part of my life and my body of photographic work. I share everything I know—from technical aspects involving different types of equipment (analog and digital cameras) to where to find inspiration and how to get started. Together, we’ll work on refining our vision for future self-portraits, and if time allows, we’ll take our first steps toward creating one.
Learning objectives:
Learn how the self-portrait can be a powerful tool for shaping your photographic vision, as well as an incredible tool for healing. Learn the technical aspects of creating a self-portrait, and walk away with inspiration and ideas for your first self-portrait setup.
Target audience:
Amateur

Together with Imagenation and, in particular, KBH.G, she has also actively contributed to larger exhibitions as both an artist and a curator.
