‘My Place’, photography + handmade zine workshop, developed and delivered independently.

My Place is a photography workshop that introduces participants to documentary photgraphy and the importance of sharing and recording our stories. Participants are encourgaed to document their immediate surroundings whilst contemplating the beauty that can be found in our domestic lives, aspects which are often overlooked as 'mundane' and 'ordinary'.  Through the use of visual story telling techniques, participants work towards making their own handmade photography zine which describes the places, spaces and people significant to their story.

The workshop is delivered over multiple sessions, requiring participants to create a visual diary, participate in a ‘studio photography’ session, and create a collaged, handmade zine.

This workshop has been delivered in Greater Manchester and Yorkshire, with organisations such as CLEAR (Community Links), National Saturday Club, Barnardo’s and more.
