Lens on the City: An Urban Photography Workshop
Workshop
Discover your city like never before. Join a community of urban photographers in this innovative two-part workshop.
Instructor: Reuben Ross
Welcome to Lens on the City, our flagship urban photography workshop. Across two interactive sessions, instructor Reuben Ross will introduce the fundamentals of using photography for urban research.
In part one, Reuben will present some key concepts of urban ethnography. Participants will engage in an informal brainstorming session, critically reflecting on life in their respective cities. Each participant will then select a public space in their city – such as a street, square, or park – and present it to the group. Afterwards, participants will be asked to visit their chosen space in their own time, documenting it with their camera or phone using the ethnographic techniques discussed.
A week later, participants will reconvene to share their photos, reflect on their work, and discuss their findings. This is your chance to learn from others, exchange ideas, and gain new insights into urban life!
