Mock-up of a publication dealing with the city center of Prague

The city of Prague is currently undergoing observable changes. Along with Wenceslas Square we see as well the „pulsing“ metropolitan center and other locations. Prague is becoming a cosmopolitan and dynamic city. Every day we see around us interesting situations, new contexts or interesting city scenes. Chronicle these changes in fresh and personal manners and create from these photos a publication...

Course contents:

What is relevant in contemporary documentary photography and why?

Why can we freely work/photograph in „public spaces?“

What is the difference between so-called „private“ and „public spaces?“

We try to adopt and use „documentary principles.“

What are they? Then there is the so-called „private space“ which, if we understand it, we can successfully work in it....

What is, by the way, the difference between the „documentary“ approach and the so-called „conceptual?“
