The classical photography studio focuses on technological procedures and processes in the generation of photography. The content arises from the assumption that the student must master particular technical tasks which open a path to the realization of one's artistic intentions. Procedures are analysed with students which lead to priorly established goals. Part of instruction is a comparison of various technology and their limitations which often may become the single bearer of implementation of the selected intent.
The first pillar of this studio is working with large-format photography. Students have the opportunity to work with negatives up to 18x26cm and to subsequently produce a traditional gelatine silver print up to a meter in dimension. Students, in the studio, are acquainted with classical color photography and selected color inversion materials.
Part of the studio is a workshop focused on historical photography techniques such as flexography, cyanotype, bromoil print or working with gelatine and its transfer to non-standard materials.
The second pillar of the studio is dedicated to technological innovations. This is research into and a judging of the potential of digital photography and other technologies which take part in the recording of an optical image. Also part of the studio are light sources, potential directed camera movement using a robotic head, recording from above with the use of possible managing the image using WIFI connections.
