Please note that unfortunately due to illness Alina Kisina will not be delivering this workshop. However we are delighted that the photography publisher Dewi Lewis has agreed to step in and lead the workshop. Dewi has huge experience in this area and has also led numerous workshops internationally.
This workshop with Alina Kisina gives you an unusual opportunity to work with a small group both to improve your own portfolio, and with the additional dimension of seeing how others might improves theirs'.
Alina Kisina supports photographers who would like critical feedback on their work and shares her insights as a self-taught photographer developing an international career. The reviews will be an opportunity to explore ideas and projects in development, receive advice on the presentation of your portfolio or exhibition including narrative, editing and sequencing, enabling you to articulate your voice and consider your next steps.
The reviews will take the form of a two hour workshop for a group of 4 photographers.
To maximize the benefit of this opportunity, participants are advised to avoid showing their portfolios on an electronic device but rather bring a set of 20 or more prints of their work.
Alina Kisina is a Ukrainian photographer living in London, frequently returning to her native land to continue an ongoing series of remarkably evocative pictures that use a mixture of abstraction and representation that suggest a reality beyond what is seen by the eye. She is regularly invited to teach as a Visiting Lecturer, give artist talks and participate in conferences in both the UK and internationally. In 2010 her work from the Zerkalo|Mirror exhibition was featured in 'Thinking in Unity after Postmodernism' – an international conference on innovative approaches to aesthetics, literature and film at the University of Munich. Her work in the UK has included numerous prizes and exhibitions and most recently, a commission and a solo show at Light House Media Centre as part of ‘Pushing the Boundaries of Documentary Photography’ and ‘East meets West’ exhibition seasons. The show was accompanied by an intensive programme of lectures and talks, including an Artist in Conversation with John Blakemore. See www.AlinaKisina.co.uk
