photoSCHOOL | Masterclass | Julia Wimmerlin
In this four-hour masterclass, participants explore how personal vision and photographic style are formed and interconnected. Through selected case studies, visual analysis, and guided reflection, photographers learn to identify recurring patterns in their work, clarify what they want to express, and align their technique with their intent. The course provides practical tools for consciously developing a coherent, authentic photographic language that transcends trends and genres.
Goals:
Participants will identify recurring visual, technical, and conceptual patterns in their portfolios and evaluate the role these patterns play in shaping their personal photographic language. Participants will apply structured analytical tools to consciously develop and refine their style, moving beyond trends, genres, and imitation.
Target audience:
Amateur, Professional
