Rafal Milach
May 26 - 30, 2025
About the workshop
This is an exciting opportunity to study with Rafal Milach, a rising star in the field of new documentary photography, which he approaches with the sensibility of a visual artist. Rafal, who has published books and critical publications on social issues and state control, will guide you in exploring how to structure a visual narrative, how to make it relevant in a contemporary context, and whether the image itself or what surrounds it is more important.
Workshop participants will analyze their projects using a series of practical crash tests, including editing, storytelling, and locating the work in a broader context. Together, we’ll discuss how the form of presentation determines the ways in which the project is read and which visual and non-visual elements help or hinder getting to the heart of the idea.
Design will also figure prominently, with graphic designer Ania Nalecka-Milach from Tapir Book Design joining Rafal for the workshop.
