Heiter sessions are monthly online “heiter experiences” that give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in an creative and/or calming activity and thus, add more joy to your daily life. In July we will meet for a “Communicating Emotions Through Photography” (zoom) workshop with Vanessa Simpson.
The 60min session takes place on Thursday, the 14th of July at 10am BST | 11am CET. We will explore how we respond to photographs, how they can make us feel and how we can make photographs that endeavour to convey emotion to the viewer. While we can never dictate how others will respond to an image we’ve created we can certainly help guide them.
We’ll consider a variety of different images by various photographers and reflect on how they make us feel before exploring why and how.
This is not a ‘how to use your camera’ workshop and it doesn’t matter whether you like to use a smartphone or the latest gear, but we will cover some basic techniques on how different styles of photography can help us express what we feel and how to communicate this.
There is also the chance to send in questions/problems you have regarding your photography. Katharina will collect all of them before the workshop and Vanessa will then get back to you with solutions/answers towards the end of the session.
There will also be a replay available for everyone (including those of you who cannot make it live).
Ticket price: €19

She originally trained as a nurse and has lived in several different countries around the world with her family.

Good to know: if you’d like to attend all upcoming heiter experiences and take advantage of more benefits that help you build connections and cerate heiter moments, we recommend to sign up for The Heiter Society (instead of purchasing this individual ticket). Doors to the membership will close in mid June.
