PHOTOGRAPHY and INDEPENDENCE DAY IN REYKJAVK | SEEDS 052 | 2018-06-07 - 2018-06-16 | CULT,ART , | Age: 18 - 20

 

This is the eleventh year -since 2008- that SEEDS organizes series of International Photo marathons, while we started organising camps open for teenagers in the year 2010. Throughout the year participants from all over the world come to Iceland for an intense photography related learning camp. SEEDS coordinators help the participants to develop their unique photographic skills through workshops and feedback sessions on technical settings, compositional considerations as well as developing conceptual frameworks which progress the participants individual style.

Work: When the workshop ends, we select some of our best pictures from the stay and prepare those images for an informal group exhibition locally. While learning about photography the participants explore Icelandic culture by taking part in it, capturing it and also by working for the City of Reykjavik. One of our objectives is to deliver messages and draw the attention to the locals through pictures made in the camp.Participants should be prepared for walking and visually exploring the city streets and working within a flexible time schedule. Participants will be photographing in their free time outside of workshop hours with images to be discussed at group feedback sessions. Please note this project is more of a learning/sharing camp and not a regular work camp; we may be able to organize some outdoor voluntary service but it depends on our partners and weather conditions. Participants should also use this opportunity to share something about their own culture, such as food, music, and films with the international group.Participants should arrive ready to shoot and should bring with them their own digital cameras, lenses and laptops if possible. This teenage projects are open for participants in the age range 16 to 20 years old and during their stay SEEDS organises a programme that combines learning, sharing, getting to know Iceland, its culture, having fun, as exploring the capital city and some of the most stunning nature attractions in the Golden Circle and the South Sh

Accomodation and food: : SEEDS participants will stay in an equipped house in Reykjavik, which is located about 4 kilometers from the centre of the city. The facilities are basic with a shower, washing machine, kitchen and everyone is expected to show consideration for their companions. We will sleep in shared rooms in an sleeping bag accommodation. Participants shall bring their own sleeping bag. Participants from other projects may also stay in the house. Participants will receive food supplies and be in charge of the cooking and cleaning activities. Do not forget some traditional/typical food and recipes from your home country for the international evening.
