MARRAKESH
A workshop focused on visual perception in public space.
Observing light, rhythm, and structure rather than searching for subjects.
Developing clarity within a dense and immersive urban environment.
About the City
Marrakesh is a city shaped by density. Space, movement, and proximity define its rhythm – not through openness, but through compression and repetition. Light appears in fragments, filtered through narrow passages and layered surfaces. The city reveals itself in moments rather than sequences. Streets feel intense, yet ordered by use. This makes Marrakesh an ideal place to observe complexity up close – to work with proximity instead of distance, and to find clarity within density and structure within constant movement.
Focus of the Workshop
• Visual perception in public space
• Light, shadow, and subtle transitions
• Rhythm, repetition, and interruption
• Spatial relationships and distance
• Working with restraint instead of spectacle
How we Work
We move slowly, observe carefully, and work in short, focused phases. There will be guided moments, shared observation, and time to work independently. Feedback happens situationally – while walking, pausing, and reflecting together. The emphasis lies on awareness, rather than speed or output.
For Whom
This workshop is for photographers who want to refine how they see rather than what they photograph.
A focus on visual perception, composition, and clarity in public space – independent of experience level or equipment.
What makes this workshop special
This workshop focuses on how to see and work within Marrakesh’s layered, tactile urban environment.
What distinguishes this workshop is the balance between immersion and restraint. Marrakesh unfolds through proximity – narrow passages, shifting light, and constant interaction. We work from within, developing clarity through attention and presence. The group is intentionally small, allowing space for individual attention, quiet observation, and precise feedback. We slow down, adapt to situations, and work at a pace that supports awareness rather than production.
Local knowledge is an essential part of the experience. A trusted local guide accompanies the group throughout the workshop, helping navigate social spaces, customs, and transitions that shape how the city is experienced and photographed. The focus is not on the quantity of images, but on perception, decision-making, and restraint – developing a clearer visual language within a rich and intimate environment.
