The Xposure workshop programme offers practical and creative sessions led by internationally recognised photographers, filmmakers, editors, educators, and visual storytellers. Designed for all levels, it gives participants direct access to working professionals who share their methods in an open, collaborative environment.

The programme balances three core strands. First, storytelling and authorship workshops help participants develop long term projects, refine documentary narratives, and build coherent portfolios that express a clear voice. Second, technical sessions dive into light, composition, and process across genres such as architecture, multiple exposure work, fine art printmaking, macro crystals, underwater imaging, and minimalist high contrast photography. Third, professional development workshops focus on pitching, digital presence, portfolio building, and turning personal projects into commissions.

In addition, several sessions open pathways beyond still photography, exploring screenwriting, acting, and the evolving business of film in an era shaped by new technologies. Across the programme, participants are encouraged to experiment, exchange ideas, and build community. They leave with sharper skills, stronger direction, and a deeper understanding of how their visual work connects to a wider cultural landscape.
