This is the twelfth year that SEEDS organizes series of International Photography camps. Throughout the year participants from all over the world come to Iceland for an immersive photography related learning camp. SEEDS coordinators help the participants to develop their unique photographic skills through workshops and feedback sessions on technical settings, compositional considerations as well as developing conceptual frameworks which progress the participants individual style.When the workshops end, we select some of our best pictures from the camp and prepare those images for an informal group exhibition in a local independent cinema or in another public space in the city. Participants should bring with them their own digital cameras, lenses, and laptops if possible. Participants should be prepared for walking and visually exploring the city with a flexible time schedule, in their free time outside of workshops, photographing images to be discussed at group feedback sessions.

« I had not appreciated that so few people come out in the East Asian countries that my telling them was something extraordinary.
