“Flesz” photography group

Are you passionate about photography? Do you want to learn how to take photos and meet people who share your interests and sensibilities? Do you feel that spending time creating together would be good for you?

We invite everyone who sees photography not only as a technical skill, but also as a way to explore their own sensibilities and express themselves creatively.

Course Philosophy:
Each photography session is a walk and a conversation, creating a safe space for spontaneous and authentic shots. Photography is a process, a transformation that has both symbolic and therapeutic dimensions, becoming a record of a personal story that needs to be heard and seen.

Storytelling and authenticity – through our photographs, we will strive to capture the elusive, the unsaid, and what lies between the lines.

Practice and connection – in class, we focus on shared, fully engaged experiences and building relationships within the group. Outdoor photo sessions are an integral part of the work.

Thanks to the meetings:

• You’ll learn the basics and explore various fields of photography
• You’ll learn how to work with natural light and studio lighting (using continuous light)
• You’ll take part in professional photo shoots
• You’ll conduct unique photo shoots during outdoor sessions
• You’ll develop and carry out a long-term photography project
• present your work at a group exhibition
• build your portfolio
• learn how to showcase your photos online and attract clients
• meet wonderful people who share your passion

Who is it for?
The sessions are open to anyone aged 16 and older, regardless of their photography skills.

Note: Participants are expected to bring their own camera to the workshops.

Instructor:
Justyna Musiał – an award-winning photographer and phototherapist, winner of the international “Portret Prawdziwy” competition. Creator of the “Z łąk i lasów” space, she specializes in reportage and portrait sessions, primarily featuring women, often conducted through gatherings in nature.
As a certified phototherapist (she completed postgraduate studies in “Photography in Therapy and Personal Development” and is continuing her advanced studies in “Presence and Image”), she combines image with word, using photography as a tool for deeper understanding and storytelling.
In her free time, she explores forests, rides a bike, gathers herbs, and practices archery, and in the evenings she devours books.
