6-week workshop – € 250
This workshop is for intermediate/advanced amateur photographers who want to learn how to tell a story with their images. During the course participants will analyze the different elements needed when telling a story through a single image or through a sequence of images. At the beginning of the class, students will choose one topic, according to their ideas and interests, and will work on it throughout the duration of the course. They will go through all the stages needed to create a photographic story: choosing the subject, defining and establishing a strong relationship and connection with it, developing the key elements needed in storytelling, and editing and presentation of their images. Group critiques and discussions are the core elements of this course.
Equipment needed: camera, laptop ( if owned)
Prerequisite: this is not a technical course, therefore a solid understanding of camera operation is required
