LUMINA Experiences

Photographic programmes with Per Valentin

A LUMINA Experience is several days of work with THE LUMINA METHOD™ by Per Valentin. No more than 12 photographers work directly with Per. Each day you get an assignment. Each evening you select and review the photographs together.

The cities offer different subjects: people, craft, markets, streets and light. The Method and the daily way of working remain the same.

The city is our working space.
