A safe space where photographers and visual storytellers grow together, one project at a time.

Peer-to-peer feedback sessions for photographers and visual storytellers. Makers share work-in-progress in a safe, open setting and exchange honest, constructive feedback. Free to attend.

Welcome to Wanderstories, a peer-to-peer event for photographers and visual storytellers. We are driven by a simple idea: that makers grow faster and further when they share their work and reflect on it together, in an environment that feels safe and open.

Founded in 2023, Wanderstories grew out of a need many makers feel after leaving the structure of art school: the lack of opportunities to show work and receive professional feedback in a supportive group setting. Today we welcome recent graduates, early-career photographers, students in the final phase of their studies, and self-taught makers alike. Each session is small and intentional, so every project gets genuine attention and depth.

We've welcomed all kinds of makers, from recent graduates to seasoned photographers working on long-term projects.

The Session

Each edition follows a structured Round Table format, adapted for photography from the DAS Theatre Feedback Method and Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process. It guides the group through observation, open questions, and reflection.
