This workshop invites photographers who work either in color and/or black & white to explore how meaning deepens when images are seen in relationship to each other rather than one image in isolation. Through the lens of mindfulness and visual storytelling, students will learn to create diptychs that reveal rhythm, contrast, and narrative connection.

Co-taught by Robert Stahl, whose work centers on contemplative seeing and presence, and Victoria Bjorklund, whose work is known for cinematic style and photographic storytelling, this class will blend slow looking, creative sequencing, and deeper intentionality through the conversation with images.

Together, Robert and Victoria will meet with students one-on-one and guide them with Whidbey Island as the backdrop in crafting new image pairings that express emotion, passage of time, and personal vision — transforming photographs into visual poems.
