Discover the art of imperfection in this unique photography program, where we embrace the flawed, the weathered, and the unconventional. Step away from the pursuit of perfection and capture the raw beauty of nature’s quirks—wilted flowers, double-headed blooms, decaying leaves, and the mesmerizing patterns of rust and oxidation.
Through the lens, we’ll explore Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese philosophy that finds elegance in impermanence and imperfection. Learn to slow down, appreciate overlooked details, and see beauty in the everyday. This program also touches on UrbEx (urban exploration), where abandoned spaces reveal stunning textures of decay and resilience.
Celebrate the art of life’s imperfections and transform the way you see the world. Sign up now!
