Shooting From The Heart – Photography Workshop with Panos Kasimis

How do you photograph? What do you see, what do you feel before pressing the shutter? This workshop is not about technical rules or perfect compositions—it’s about intention and connection. It’s an invitation to rethink how you approach photography, to be more present, and to create images that truly resonate.

Over the course of four days, you’ll work closely with Panos Kasimis, a photographer with over 38 years of experience, who will guide you through an intensive process of visual exploration. We will discuss photography as a personal language, review your portfolios, and go out into the field to seek authenticity beyond clichés. You’ll learn to see more clearly, shoot with greater awareness, and craft powerful visual narratives.

What You Will Learn

• Empathic Photography – how to connect with your subject and capture authenticity.

• Building a Visual Narrative – understanding how images complement each other.

• Breaking Free from Visual Clichés – identifying and avoiding forced compositions.

• Editing and Sequencing – how to select and arrange images for maximum impact.

• Portfolio Review – direct feedback for each participant.
