Detaills about femLens and the course

femLENS is an Estonian-based international non-profit organisation. It was founded in 2015 by photographer Jekaterina Saveljeva and is supported by volunteer work. www.femlens.com  Over the last 4 years femLENS has trained 43 women in 6 countries. We have worked with single mothers in Dublin, Ireland, women with disabilities in Gdynia, Poland, refugee women living in Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, women and girls in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, women in rural southern Spain, and diverse migrant women in Berlin, Germany. We have organised 3 exhibitions, presented femLENS at various conferences and festivals, including TEDxLasnamae in Estonia. femLENS publishes a photography magazine “We See”. The two issues of the magazine have been downloaded more than 1000 times since March 2018.

You are invited to a two-day workshop on the basics of documentary photography run by femLENS in the frame of Kunst trotz(t) Ausgrenzung exhibition and event-program.
 In the 2 meetings of 6 hours each we will cover briefly:
* the history of documentary photography
* mobile phone as a camera and photo techniques (light, composition, angle, etc)
* visual story techniques, story planning, story development
* editing, sequencing, sharing, printing

We also hope to have a vernissage of the photos produced during the workshops at the finissage of the touring exhibition Kunst trotz(t) Ausgrenzung in Berlin.
