What you don’t know about studying photography at WdKA is… it’s not just about photography.
For 4th year photography student Jan, the camera is just a starting point. Movement, performance, and the body take over where the image stops.
In a world where everyone can take pictures, this programme pushes you to question what an image even is and what it can become. From experimentation to performance, from research to storytelling, it’s about building a way of thinking and challenging yourself to find new ways to work with photography.
