Obsah

The location of this photographic exercise is the city of Prague or alternatively the student`s hometown in case it is inevitable due to the current pandemic situation. Each student will select one particular locality that will in the first stage become a subject of her or his own theoretical research. The goal is to analyze what were the circumstances and context of that specific area`s or building`s origin that led to their final shape and what were the historical ties related to it. It is each student`s task to plan the shooting to the utmost detail, taking into account not only the most suitable viewpoint of each shot, but also the appropriate time to record them. To successfully manage this part, it is essential both to analyze the given locality in relation to the seasons by means of tools like google maps or a sun calculator as well as to frequently visit and observe the place in person, all this prior to the actual shooting. A suggested approach of each student, illustrated by sketches recorded on any available digital camera, will be a subject of regular consultations.
