From November 2025 at Winsford Library, this ongoing workshop series invites the community to engage with a photography model developed by Dr Alexandru Modoi.

 

Using the 'wolf myths' study as a conceptual framework, participants explore their own life experiences and cultural heritage through still-life photography. Following the success of the inaugural 2024 exhibitions and events at Chester Photo Festival, we are currently running additional workshops in the library and have more events planned.

 

The Workshop Process:
Participants are guided through three core reflective questions to help visualise their narratives:

  • What is in your picture?
  • What does it represent for you?
  • What are your feelings?

These workshops empower individuals to share their personal stories and "re-imagine" their experiences through a creative lens.
