Masterclass - Katrin Koenning: on narrative and place

Over the course of two consecutive days, Katrin Koenning will guide participants along photographic thinking and exploration of their physical and emotional connection to place and environment, and to that which surrounds them. Studying a variety of narrative histories as well as theoretical and practical methodologies and challenges to land and place-based image making, the course will draw on notions of photographic practice as a ‘being-in-the-world’. Koenning will provide in-depth insight into her own working processes and influences as well as intensive portfolio reviews of each participant’s individual work.
