Visual language of „reportage“ and „documentary“ photography,Learn what is the difference between documenting apart from interpreting reality in the world around us with one´s camera. To master working process with digital files, contact sheets, proof prints and finally to edit one´s work. That may strengthen your independence when working on assignments given by newspapers, magazines, and other institutions.
