Photography

  • A tree with red berries in front of houses with brick walls and tiled roofs.

    Trees are so special

    In this screen-free project, children and teenagers explore the beauty of local trees through analogue photography. Using film cameras rather than digital devices, they learn to observe carefully, frame images with intention and notice textures, shapes and light in the natural world.

    By slowing down and working without instant results, participants experience photography as a mindful creative process, building curiosity, patience and a deeper appreciation for the trees that shape their local environment.

  • A three-story residential house with a brick and pebble dash exterior, featuring white-framed bay windows on the upper floors and a teal front door beneath an arched brick entrance. The house has potted plants and garden items in the front yard, with a brick-paved driveway and two trash bins nearby.

    My Street

    In this screen-free project, teenagers explore their neighbourhood through analogue portrait and documentary photography. Using film cameras, they observe the people, details and rhythms of everyday street life while learning to frame images with intention and curiosity.

    Working slowly and thoughtfully, participants create a small photographic story about their street, later turning their images and reflections into a printed zine that captures the character of the place they call home.

    Looking at Myself

    In this one-to-one, screen-free workshop, young people explore identity and self-expression through analogue photography. Using a 35mm film camera, they create a small series of self-portraits or still-life images, learning to work slowly and thoughtfully without the pressure of instant results.

    The process encourages reflection, patience and creative confidence, offering a calm and supportive space where participants can experiment with light, composition and symbolism while developing a more positive and thoughtful view of themselves.
