Contents
The Classical Photography Studio focuses on the technological procedures and processes of photography. The studio also includes workshops focusing on historical photographic techniques such as rubber printing, cyanotype, bromo printing, wet collodion process or working with gelatin and its transfer to other materials. In the case of photographs where the positive image is the negative, the result is only a single original.
In the studio, the same emphasis is placed on contemporary forms of photography and current technological innovation, exploring and assessing the possibilities of digital photography and other technologies involved in recording the optical image. This includes the study of new light sources, taking aerial photographs using a drone, or obtaining extremely high quality images by compositing images using various robotic devices.
Finding ways to realise creative intentions depending on the chosen technology is, among other things, a process of discussion within the studio.
