Saturday, October 5, 9:30

A Story That Changes Perspective.
Aspiring photographers are tasked with capturing the essence of Orticolario from a fresh perspective, focusing on what is hidden (or waiting to be discovered).
Details and subtleties often overlooked by most are brought to life in front of the camera.
Inspired by the core theme of this edition, the earth, participants will explore and experiment with the art of visual storytelling: one of the most powerful arts that exist.
The photographs selected by participants will be featured in Orticolario’s report in the November issue of Gardenia.
