Photography and Poetry have long been linked. While they are quite distinct art forms, there is a lot to be learned from the traditions of poetry that can help us in our photographic work.  In this workshop, we will look at how we can borrow poetic devices such as metaphor, parallelism and symbolism to create a visual language.
