Ways to learn

One Method. Several ways to work with it.

THE LUMINA METHOD™ by Per Valentin is for photographers who know their camera and want to make more deliberate choices. LUMINA Experience is the active format, with Palermo 2027 next. Online, Light and Mentorship are coming later.

Seven questions. The foundation of every format.

Every format is built around the same seven questions in THE LUMINA METHOD™ by Per Valentin.

MEANING

Why should this photograph exist?

SEEING

What am I really seeing?

FEELING

What feeling should the photograph carry?

INTENTION

What do I include — and what do I leave out?

RHYTHM

How does the eye move through the photograph?

IDENTITY

How does this photograph become part of my visual language?

THE THIRD DIMENSION

What stays with the viewer?
