"Some participants began by sketching ideas, while others explored materials directly, experimenting with posing and gesture with assistance from Ruby and Hayley. The atmosphere was very lively and collaborative, with participants photographing one another and sharing ideas...By the end of the session, participants felt less like subjects and more like collaborators, having actively shaped visual representations of illusion."

Photographs and reflections are by Sonia Bhamra. These workshops were part of research and development for her photography project Illusions of Maya.
