Photography Retreat 9/2026

In the photography retreat, we will calm down and seek inspiration for creative photography. A simple pinhole camera will be built during the retreat, inviting you to slow down, focus, and observe your surroundings. In addition to how the camera works, we will also delve into its history. Furthermore, we will develop photos using traditional darkroom methods, take photography excursions in Valamo's nature, and discuss images and observations of the environment together. The photography retreat offers an opportunity for contemplation and slowing down amidst everyday life. The main focus of the retreat is on observing the environment and being present in the moment. The retreat is suitable for both experienced photographers and beginners. The course instruction begins on the morning of September 25, and accommodation for the preceding night is included in the course price. Any meals on September 24 are paid at the normal prices at Trapesa. Master photographer Joonas Ahtikallio.
