Workshop Description:

Step into the world where imagination and serendipity meets technique. This workshop explores the art of double exposure photography—a process of layering images to reveal stories that go beyond a single frame. Participants will learn how to combine portraits, landscapes, and textures to craft compelling visual narratives that evoke emotion and meaning. Whether you’re a beginner curious about creative experimentation or an experienced photographer seeking new storytelling tools, this session will inspire you to see photography as poetry in pictures.
