Join award-winning photographer and documentary filmmaker Jeanny Tsai in a transformative photography workshop exploring how to reveal divine essence through portraiture.

In this immersive workshop, you explore how to reveal divine essence when photographing another human being. Together, we reflect on what "divine essence" means to each of us, support one another through intentional photography sessions, and cocreate portraits that radiate with depth and luminous presence. This hands-on workshop includes outdoor and indoor photo shoots, group discussions, creative guidance, image selection and editing, and a final community slideshow. While basic DSLR knowledge is recommended, the focus is on creative exploration and concept rather than technical mastery.

All experience levels are welcome.

Things to Bring

Please bring a DSLR or equivalent high quality point-and-shoot digital camera, a laptop with photo-editing software, and any meaningful personal props that may support your visual narrative. The instructor provides an assortment of nature-based props.
