How many stories can be hidden in one photograph? Intuition would suggest that the answer is at least three – the story of the person or object immortalised in it, that of the person who took the photo, and finally that of the person who is looking, interpreting. The participants in the workshop with Andrzej Kramarz will have the opportunity to use a photo to talk about a subject or problem that is bothering them personally. They will learn how to edit photos to give this story the right rhythm and dramatic effect, and then transform it into a form – exhibition, book, press material – that is attractive for the recipient.
Everybody will complete their own photographic cycle. The individual work on the material will be accompanied by classes as a group (their value being exchange of different points of view). Field exercises will in each case be preceded by a lecture, discussion, presentation of photographs and analysis of them. Workshop participants will get to know various artistic approaches through an introduction to selected photographic trends, historical as well as contemporary. Aesthetic questions will be examined in combination with reflection on the anthropology of the image.
The latest publishing trends concerning art books will also be shown, and those who are keen will be able to begin preparing their own publication.

Workshops for kids
For the first time, Krakow Photomonth is inviting children to play an active part in events. The workshops for kids aged 2 to 12 offer creative fun inspired by photography. The joint artistic experiments will make use of children’s most precious characteristics – liveliness, spontaneity and joy at doing things together. The workshop plans are inspired by individual exhibitions from the Main Programme of Krakow Photomonth, and raise such subjects as the outer appearance and inner qualities of a person, expressing oneself through dress, camouflage, and technical issues connected with creating photography: framing, composition, light, background, graphic style and staging.
A great way to stir kids’ imagination and open them up for new ideas. Get ready!
