STREET PHOTOGRAPHY From September 17 to 20 2026

NINA WELCH KLING

Capturing the elusive in Venice
Street photography, mood, and subtle storytelling
Sale price€1.490,00 Finance my workshop

“Street photography is about being in the present. I love observing people and the challenge of organizing the visual clutter of a busy city into a single, split-second frame while being immersed in everyday life — capturing and documenting the now.”

- Nina Welch Kling

This workshop focuses on visual storytelling through street photography, inspired by Nina Welch-Kling’s quiet, observational approach. Street photography, for Nina, is about being fully present — observing people, organizing visual complexity, and distilling everyday life into a single, decisive moment that captures the now.

Set within Venice’s narrow streets, shifting light, reflective canals, and unpredictable encounters, participants will explore how mood, atmosphere, gesture, and subtle narrative cues can shape a short photographic story. Through guided shooting sessions, editing labs, and group critiques, participants will develop a coherent visual narrative that reflects both place and personal voice.

Bio

Nina Welch-Kling is a New York-based photographer originally from a small town in southern Germany. Her background in architecture and design strongly influences her photographic work, which often presents mysterious and layered depictions of everyday life.

She earned a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Master of Architecture from UCLA. Her work has received international recognition, including a LensCulture Critics’ Choice Award, multiple LensCulture Street Photography finalist selections, and her nomination as a Hasselblad Heroine.

Her monograph Duologues was published in 2022 and exhibited in Germany in 2024 and 2025.
