The Experience

You spend a day photographing alongside me.

We walk Philadelphia together — its markets, avenues, corners and crowds — and we both photograph the whole time. Not a lecture, not a classroom, not a tour. We talk about photography as it happens: why one moment works and another doesn’t, when to step closer, when to wait, when to move on.

We work through real situations on the street. We experiment. We make mistakes on purpose and follow what catches our eye. The point is not a technique to memorise. It is a deeper sense of how to see — and the confidence to respond to the street intuitively, with the camera already up.

Then we turn the day into something you can hold.

The Day

  1. Meet. Talk about photography. Prepare cameras.
  2. First photographic walk.
  3. Lunch and a first look at the photographs.
  4. Second photographic walk.
  5. Edit, sequence and design the collaborative zine in FLUX Studio.

Saturdays, 9 AM–3 PM Eastern. The schedule is a shape, not a script — it bends to the weather, our energy and whatever the street offers that day.

The Zine

Two photographers. The same city. One publication.

We walk the same streets on the same day, and we come back with different photographs. That difference is the material. At the end of the day we put both sets on the table, choose the strongest pictures, pair yours with mine, and sequence them into a single zine — a record of one Saturday in Philadelphia, seen twice.

  1. SELECTEach of us brings our strongest frames from the day.
  2. PAIRYour photograph next to mine — echoes, contrasts, conversations.
  3. SEQUENCEPut the pairs in an order that reads like the day felt.
  4. PUBLISHLay it out in FLUX Studio and export the finished zine.

You leave with one printed copy in your hands — printed and assembled together before the day ends — and the digital PDF. Every photograph in the zine is credited to the photographer who made it.

Your photographs stay yours

  • You keep full copyright and ownership of every photograph you make.
  • By taking part, each of us gives the other permission to reproduce the photographs we choose together in the collaborative zine only — the PDF and its printed copies — credited by name.
  • You may share and print the zine for personal, non-commercial use. Selling copies needs both photographers’ agreement.
  • Nothing of yours is used for promotion, advertising, social media or portfolio purposes without your separate, written permission — and saying no changes nothing about your day.

Who It’s For

Photographers of every level. Any camera.

  • You don’t need a Ricoh GR. A phone, a compact, film, mirrorless — anything that makes a photograph.
  • You don’t need to know the rules. We care about seeing, curiosity, experimentation and making photographs.
  • You might be starting out, returning after years away, or photographing every day and wanting a fresh eye.
  • You should be happy to walk for most of the day and to photograph strangers in public with respect.

About Dante

I photograph every day.

I’m Dante Sisofo, a photographer and writer in Philadelphia. Photography for me is a daily practice — walk, photograph, repeat — and the streets of this city are where most of it happens. My archive runs from 2016 to today, every photograph in the order it was made.

FLUX is the system I built to publish that work: photographs kept in chronological order and printed as issues of 36. The tools behind it — FLUX Studio, the generators and contact sheets — are free for anyone to use, and I write about photography almost every day on this site.

This workshop is that practice, shared for one day.

Questions

Do I need a Ricoh GR?

No. Any camera is welcome — a phone, a compact, a film camera, a mirrorless or an SLR. The day is about seeing, not equipment.

What experience do I need?

None in particular. The workshop is for photographers of every level. What matters is curiosity and a willingness to walk and photograph for the day.

Where do we meet?

La Colombe, 1414 S Penn Square, Philadelphia, PA 19102.

What do I take home?

One printed copy of the collaborative zine, printed and assembled together before the workshop ends, and the digital PDF.

Who owns the photographs?

You keep full ownership of your photographs. By taking part you allow them to be reproduced in the collaborative zine only. Nothing of yours is used for promotion without your separate written permission.

What if the weather is unsafe?

If the weather is unsafe, we reschedule to another available Saturday at no cost.

How many people take part?

Only you. Each Saturday is one photographer and Dante Sisofo, nobody else.
