What Can a Photograph Change? From Lens to Self Festival 2026 Preview

​What can a photograph change in the way you see yourself and the world?

​This free preview evening opens the From Lens to Self Festival with a warm, practical tour of its approach: photography as a way to look, ask questions and discover fresh perspectives.

​We walk through the three weeks of themes and the experiences on offer, and you try a first taste of the practice. You see how an ordinary photograph becomes a starting point for noticing what draws your attention, the questions you carry and what you choose to keep. You leave knowing which sessions suit you, and with a small welcome gift.

​Ideal if you are curious to know more about the From Lens to Self, in a period of change or looking for a fresh way to reflect.
