Contents
The course focuses on working in the plein air using natural light, working with image sharpness, cropping and composition. The ways of thinking about photography as a means of making a statement about a particular place, their variability, mutual compatibility and appropriateness in relation to intention are also inherent. The course introduces students to the basic laws of photographic imaging in capturing space and reproducing it in the surface of a photograph. In the practical part, attention is given to working with medium format equipment, appropriate use of light, the effects of weather and the possibilities of using classical techniques.
