Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s a way to see the world, tell stories, create and hold onto wonderful memories. In this interactive workshop, we invite you to explore the joy of capturing everyday moments through photography.

Over six sessions, we will reconnect with personal memories, discover new ways of seeing, and engage in meaningful conversations inspired by the images we create. Each week, we will reflect on our photographs, share our experiences, and explore different themes—from light and shadow to storytelling through pictures. No prior photography experience is needed; it is said that the best camera is the one you have, this workshop is about creative expression and personal connection.

Join us as we slow down, curiously observe the world around us, and find beauty in the small details. Let’s create together, share our stories, and celebrate the moments that matter.

About the Instructor:
Pradeepto Roy is a visual storyteller who believes that photography offers a unique way to engage with the world. It allows us to slow down, reconnect with our senses, and discover the beauty that often goes unnoticed. Through intentional photography, we not only capture memories but also create new ones—bringing joy and meaningful connections. Pradeepto has worked with children, adults and individuals living with dementia and their care partners, and through this workshop, he invites you to be present, explore your creativity, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
