Framed by the Sea: Photographic Workshop – Wembury Beach

Meet Open Kamera on the shore - a series of coastal workshops exploring alternative photography processes, seaweed and our dialogue with the sea.

Through the Blue Sparks Programme, supported by Plymouth Sound National Marine Park and The National Lottery Heritage Fund, this series of workshops bring together analogue photography, alternative darkroom method, and coastal exploration. Together, we will enter into a dialogue with the sea - not as observers but as participants.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During this session, we will:

walk along the coastline and observe the landscape

collect drifted seaweed and natural materials

explore analogue and cameraless photography techniques

experiment with alternative, more sustainable darkroom approaches

visit and experience our portable darkroom on location

reflect on our relationship with the sea - as a place of arrivals and departures, collect and share stories

You will have the opportunity to step inside our portable darkroom, experiencing the magic of analogue photography directly by the shoreline - where the process becomes part of the landscape itself.

(This is not a technical workshop - it is a shared experinece - grounded in curiosity, presence, and process.)
