In this workshop you will learn about ways to photograph your close ones. Through inspiration, focus and practice you will be guided to find your way.
"To photograph is a way to be present."
We will immerse ourselves in photography through photobooks, films, and other mediums. We will touch on art and photography history and contemporary directions. We will be inspired by a diversity of ways to tell intimate stories through photography: archive, documentary, portrait, autofiction, conceptual, staged and other forms...
This workshop is for you who want to be inspired and learn more about what to look for and how to photograph your intimate relations – close ones, family members, friends, and others – on a daily basis, on special occasions or in life situations, in intuitive or planned settings.
We will go under the skin, be open and share stories and images with each other in a small and trust-based group.
The aim for the workshop is to learn how to use your gaze, and that after the workshop, you will have more confidence in your goals and approach further on to photographing your intimate relations.

More about Nina's process
"In my practice I use working with personal archives as a method – the process may take years in collecting, and then during or after I work on the material before finalising and manifesting the project as an exhibition, artist book, or other forms of displaying."
We will immerse ourselves in photography through photo books, films and other mediums. We will be inspired by a diversity of ways to tell stories through photography archives.
This workshop is for you who want to focus on your own personal archive of images. It can also be other archives, like an old family photo album, found images, etc. Your archive can also contain texts, journals and other materials.
In a small and trust-based group we will open your archive and see what is there – what might be missing – can there be combinations of mediums, materials and formats? How can it be put together? New and different ways? Experiments in material,s formats, and mediums? Will it take the shape of an exhibition or book or something else in the future?
During the workshop all participants will also have a 30 min 1:1 meeting with Nina.
The aim for the workshop is to see what is possible with your personal archive, and that after the workshop, you will have clear goals and know what future steps to approach your project.

She has more than twenty years of experience, working mainly in the fields of photography, video/film, text, and collage—with an especially strong passion for the artist book.
Her work is experimental, practice- and research-based, touching on topics of heritage, intimate relations, emotions, mind-body connections, identity, and our relationship with nature.
Nina holds an MFA in Photography from the Academy of Art and Design, Valand, in Gothenburg, a
one-year certificate from ICP in New York, and she has studied at Fatamorgana in Copenhagen and

She is driven by building bridges across borders and making people meet and collaborate .
