Photo-Psychogeography 4-Week Online Course With Stewart Wall

Welcome to the Photo-Psychogeography Course

This 4-week course introduces you to photo-psychogeography: a creative way of using photography to explore place, memory, and the overlooked details of everyday life.

Instead of planning images or chasing results, you will learn to drift, notice, and discover by accident what is worth photographing. Each week, you’ll be guided through readings, examples, and simple exercises designed to help you see differently.

By the end of the course you will:

• Understand the principles of photo-psychogeography.
• Use drifting and walking as creative tools.
• Recognise how metaphors can make the ordinary meaningful.
• Create your own series of mini projects that reflects a deeper connection to place.
• Have the opportunity to contribute your work to collaborative zines created from the course projects.

No prior experience is required—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to see your familiar world with fresh eyes.
