Stephanie Steinkopf
It is the encounters with people who shape me, and it is my photography that has made it possible to learn more about life. My work involves diving into other living environments and I then translate these experiences into pictures. In these moments the photographing is part of the experience and part of the encounter. My approach helps to fathom any possible relationships between reality, staging and fiction. This field of tension is the challenge.
evening seminar

In my seminar we discuss contemporary documentary photography and artistic photography and look at the fluid interchange taking place. We look at the different approaches and work methods that could be inspirational for each field. It is about working together to start a contextual discourse that challenges everyone to question their working methods, perceptions and how to reflect on the available content.
In the year, everyone creates a photography portfolio, either they join an existing project or a new one is started. The aim is to reflect on the experiences gained and to consolidate or enlarge the imagery obtained.
It is planned to present the results at the end of the seminar in a jointly developed exhibition, in which each work should receive its best possible form of presentation.
