Seeing more than just a frame
“Photo School” is not just about photos, it's about depth of vision, presence in the moment, and self-acceptance
The inclusive project “Photo School”, implemented by volunteers from VC LEV, became a true space for creative exploration, self-expression, and discovery. It was not just a series of classes — it was a journey toward a deeper understanding of oneself, others, and the world around us.
Children learned not only how to hold a camera but also how to see. To see light and shadow, movement and stillness, chance and meaning. We learned to capture the moment — genuine, unstaged, emotional. Most importantly, we learned to see each other. Without prejudice. Without boundaries. Without ideals. Simply as we are.
This space became a safe environment where perfection was not required. Every attempt was supported, every shot, every gaze valued. Behind each photograph stood a person with a story, sensitivity, and their own vision.
Photo School helped participants feel like creators — regardless of physical abilities, experience, or age. The camera became a tool not only for creativity but also for dialogue, trust, and mutual respect.
The best shots are those that capture life. Truth. You. Such photographs were born in our project — sincere, open, and emotional.
We thank every participant and every volunteer — you made this project authentic, alive, and inspiring. Together, we created not just a series of images — we created a story.
