Photovoice & Participatory Photography
According to (Chilton et al. 2009, 75), “Participatory Photography ‘enhance[s] internal reflection, self-awareness, and the exchange of individual’s perceptions in order to initiate personal and community change’ Additionally, it overcomes prohibitive barriers of literacy that are often present. It is within discussions engendered by images that communities find the tools to rebuild and/or transform themselves.”
Filmmaking: Production and education
We LOVE making films, short, long, fiction, non-fiction, documentaries, institutional. We also LOVE facilitating collective filmmaking processes with groups so they can make their own films. We take great care in collaborating with you or the group we are working with to create powerful and emotional messages and inspiring stories with a cinematic feeling.
Professional Photography
We can capture moments of your corporate, creative, or charity events, staff retreats, a performances, document your projects for communication, fundraising, campaigning, or awareness-raising purposes, and take headshots or portraits in a studio or where you need them as we love natural light with care and empathy. Each smile, and each encounter is a blessing for us.
Creative Photography
At the core of our practice is the idea that photography by people and for people can be a positive and civic tool. We believe photography in all its forms is a powerful and meaningful experience that can make a difference, be it in the darkroom, the studio, in the streets or in the classrooms. By nature, photography can permeate all fields and disciplines; it is a passport to the unknown.
Classrooms
Fotosynthesis believes that education should be a two-way learning process and that children are given opportunities to explore participatory and collaborative artistic approaches to the curriculum, promoting self-development in children and teachers. Our staff has been trained by Duke University, USA in Learning Through Photography, methodology developed by Wendy Ewald, who has inspired this project.
