Ravi is a photographer focusing on the human experience and storytelling in portraiture. Each portrait is a process of discovery to connect with a person deeper than surface level.

Over a decade in the photographic industry working as a lighting assistant and photographer he’s worked for multi brands and artistic projects. In the workshop we will merge the technical and artistic elements to allow you to hone your own creativity in the process to make work unique to you.

Marion is a photographer and cyanotype print maker working across fashion, travel, and documentary photography. A doctoral researcher in Visual Culture, she teaches photography history and theory, as well as practical cyanotype workshops.Her current project Anamnesis explores the process of recapturing childhood and family memories through printing cyanotype images on different material - paper, glass, fabric.

Combining her dancing and her expertise of Henna artistry (a tradition across India, Africa and the Middle East), her work explores movement and embodied expressions conveying stories of empowerment, identity, and culture.
