Home. Archive. Studio. Story.
It’s easy to think your next best work is somewhere you haven’t been and yet every photographer carries an origin story that starts at home.
Khaliyesa B. Minishi’s transmedia body of work, The 13th Path, was initiated in 2015 when prompted by a dream, she returned to her birth home with her Fujifilm XE1 camera which initiated a creative breakthrough that led to powerful career growth for her.
MASKANI meaning “Home” is a photography masterclass in alignment with the 2026 global theme of World Photography Day.
What Photographers Will Learn:
Why This Matters Now:
The most powerful photo stories are not always found by travelling further away but by looking closer, and staying longer, at what you already call home. MASKANI is an invitation to begin to build your unique legacy body of work that matters to you from the only source that is unique to you.
