Over the past 11 months, the 11 participants in the f³–MASTERCLASS PORTRAIT have intensively explored the photographic depiction of people. What does it mean to meet a person with a camera, what can you tell about them through photography, how does the relationship and the image of the person change when you meet them again and again.

In 11 very different stories, we immerse ourselves in strange worlds in which we find ourselves, just as we discover the unexpected in familiar worlds. Some photographers allow us a very personal insight into their world and others take us with them on their research journey. And they always deal with major themes: faith, love, loneliness, origins, the long road to self-discovery, lightness and pleasure.

[The f³–MASTERCLASS PORTRAIT is aimed at photographers and photo artists who focus on the genre of portrait photography. The participants discussed their work in regular project presentations and intensive dialogs. In addition to the creative/artistic examination of the series, questions about the organization of exhibitions, the sale of images, the publication and marketing of photographs, in short, everything that belongs to everyday professional life, also find a place in the masterclass].
