Making a Story: Visual – Ukrainian Folklore Edition

Step into a cinematic storytelling experience inspired by Ukrainian folklore.

We invite you to join this free, artist-led workshop where photography meets narrative, symbolism, and performance. Guided by artist Karolina Kanska, you’ll explore how to build a visual story from concept to final image.

What to expect

This workshop unfolds as a live visual story:

In the first part, we introduce a Ukrainian folkloric witch, brought to life through a professional model, traditional-inspired styling, and symbolic accessories.

In the second part, the narrative evolves — the witch encounters a mythological spirit, inspired by Ukrainian folklore. This transformation creates a new emotional and visual dynamic, allowing you to capture a complete story through your lens.

You’ll have the opportunity to photograph both scenes and interpret the story in your own unique way.

What you’ll gain

• Hands-on experience working with a model
• Guidance on posing, lighting, and composition
• Insight into storytelling through photography
• Understanding how to develop a concept into a visual narrative
• Portfolio-worthy images created during the session

What to bring

Please bring your camera or smartphone - anything you feel comfortable shooting with.

Who is this for?

This workshop is perfect for:
• Photography enthusiasts at any level
• Creatives looking to build their portfolio
• Anyone curious about combining art, storytelling, and photography

No professional experience is required - just curiosity and a passion for creating.

Join us for a unique artistic journey where image-making becomes storytelling, and folklore comes to life through your lens.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
