The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see — and observation is where every story begins.
MARÉ · METHODOLOGY
Participatory photography is not about technique. It is a creative and collective methodology that combines photography and storytelling, helping participants reflect and become aware of themselves and the world around them. People photograph a theme and then discuss it in a group — your camera becomes a mirror.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see — and observation is where every story begins.
Every day, explore and photograph at your own pace. No rules, no right or wrong. Only your eye and the light.
From everything you photographed, choose a few images. The ones that speak to you most — even if you don't yet know why. That choice is already part of the story.
In the story circle, images become words and generate awareness. Day by day, image by image, your personal storytelling takes shape.
This is not a photography course. You don't need to know how to use a camera. You only need to observe.
Sometimes a photograph says what words cannot. The camera gives you permission to express what you carry inside, without having to explain it first.
When others look at your image, they see things you hadn't noticed. The group becomes a mirror. And you understand more about you and discover that what you thought was personal, is also universal.
At the end of Maré, your images become an 8-page personal photobook. Not a souvenir — a document of who you were before, and who you are now.
