During this camp, participants will explore global and local environmental issues while developing their photography skills. If you are interested in climate change, sustainability and waste management, and enjoy photography, this project is for you!
While developing artistic and technical photography skills, you will be focusing on environmental and sustainability issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits facilitated by SEEDS. One of our aims is to help consumers and travellers better understand the environmental impact of their choices. You will visit local environmental and conservation projects, which may include hands-on activities or guided visits, such as outdoor cleanup tasks, nature exhibitions or Icelandic museums. Some of these activities are dependent on weather conditions, as on the availability of our partners.
You will also have time to put the theory about photography into practice while exploring the city. Through practical exercises and workshops, participants will improve both the artistic and technical aspects of photography, including composition, storytelling and photographing nature and urban environments.
Photography will be used not only as a creative skill, but also as a way to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage participants to reflect on the relationship between people and nature.
At the end of the camp, participants will select their favourite photographs for an online exhibition at SEEDS’ social media channels. Participants should bring their digital cameras, lenses, tripods and laptops if possible.
SEEDS will organise a night photography workshop combined with an aurora hunting excursion in the city. Northern lights are a natural phenomenon depending on solar activity and meteorological conditions, so we cannot guarantee you will see northern lights, but the night photography workshop will be organised anyway.
