creating joy
When she's teaching, Micha wants to inspire and create joy. With Micha Eicher photography & workshops she shares her unique way of changing perspective. After all, if you want to see something new, you need a new way of looking at the world. Micha is interested in the feelings behind the visible surface. For her, taking photographs while traveling is also a way of slowing down and opening doors to get in touch with people. Whether with a mobile phone or a camera, Micha creates a space in her courses for people to express themselves and try out new things. Without judgment and without being measured. Just be there, observe, photograph and experiment. Pure deceleration. And (almost) no technical blah-blah.

"Micha sees so much more than through the lens of her camera. She has captured the essence of who I am. My strength and presence were given as much space as my vulnerability. I felt seen and valued for all that I am. These are the most honest pictures I have ever seen of myself. Thank you for this wonderful co-creation."
Corinne Küng, Trauma-Sensitive Spaces
