Drawings of Light: Cameraless Photography — Introduction to Lumen Prints
Led by Rita de Almeida Leite

Explore the magic of cameraless photography in this hands-on workshop! Discover Lumen Prints, an alternative photographic process that uses natural light and organic materials to create unique, one-of-a-kind images. Learn how this method differs from traditional photographic development, and experiment with your own creations.

Participants will collect natural elements from Jardim do Carregal or Palácio de Cristal to use in their prints, and then develop their images individually under guidance.

For all ages • No prior experience required
All materials provided.
Free participation, subject to space availability.
