Therapeutic Photography: remembering through images 2025
Übersicht
Two Day Workshop
Jan 17th & 18th from 10:30 - 4pm
Two days of creative hands-on exploration, reflection, and connection.
Berlin (venue TBA)
In a world full of constant advancement, technology, AI, and a pace we try so hard to keep up with, it’s easy to lose sight of the little moments that shape us.
Images don’t just help us remember, they allow us to re-experience: revealing layers of gratitude, meaning, and deeper understanding to ourselves, that we might have missed when not pausing to reflect, which often gives the sensation that life is flying by.
This workshop offers a space to honour what has happened over the last year. The milestones, the challenges, and the moments in between - with friends, family, and ourselves. Together, we’ll take time to reflect, remember, and reconnect through the images you’ve taken, expanding your exploration of memories and emotions through them.

Day one
Connection, Meaning & Discovering Our Year in Images We begin by arriving, settling in, and meeting one another. Through guided reflection, conversation, and hands-on activities, we explore what draws us to an image - the memories, emotions, and small details that feel significant, deeping our understanding of using images as springboards. Together, we spend time going through our photographs from 2025 (ideally printed), gathering a “year-in-photos” collection. As we reflect, we begin noticing the stories, patterns, and themes that surface - the moments that shaped our year and the feelings that they carry. We also look at editing and cropping techniques that can help highlight meaning: not for aesthetics, but for clarity of expression. Towards the end, we will experiment through small exercises with taking a few new photographs connected to emotions.
Day two
Self and closure Day 2 takes us deeper into personal meaning and creative expression. We will explore self-portraiture as a way to document how we feel, and recognise transition, presence, and intention. Whether through an image of ourselves, our environment, or something symbolic that feels like us in this moment. From here, we move into the heart of the workshop: continue to craft our visual narratives for 2025. Together, we will: revisit and refine our chosen images, uncover and clarify our personal themes, curate and sequence our photographs, and assemble them into a scrapbook, folded zine, or printed set. There will be room for quiet concentration, creative play, and conversation, with a balance of working individually and creating alongside others.
