Ateliér klasické fotogtrafie se zaměřuje na technologické postupy a procesy vzniku fotografie. Jeho náplň vychází z předpokladu, že student musí zvládnout určité konkrétní úkoly technického charakteru, které mu teprve otevřou cestu k realizaci svých tvůrčích záměrů. Se studenty jsou v rámci ateliéru analyzovány postupy vedoucí k předem stanoveným cílům. Součástí výuky je i konfrontace různých technologií a vymezení jejich specifik, které se často mohou stát jediným nositelem realizace zvoleného záměru.

Studio exercise for Winter semester 2019 is „Staging and Arrangement“.
Though often considered an instrument able to represent truth by means
of a frozen moment, photography has straddled the line between fact and fiction
since its inception. Although staged photography emerged as a genre
in the 1980s, staged compositions were made since the invention of the medium,
partly due to the length of exposure required to make a successful image.
The reason why some of the early photographs were staged is not only the given
technical limitations, but also the effort of many authors to convey a more
accurate philosophical or emotional message. This tendency is apparent
in the vanitas heavily inspired by painting, still-lives alluding to the inevitability
of decline and death through objects of allegorical and symbolic meaning,
or in tableaux vivant or „living pictures“, large-scale compositions that usually
depicted historical events or glorified specific ideas.
Similar methods of staging were perfected a century later by the pioneers
of the actual genre of staged photography. Duane Michals, famous for combining
image and text in narrative photo-sequences dealing with the themes of love,
death and immortality, believed that what he cannot see around him is infinitely
more important than what he can see. As he explained, he did not have to walk
around looking for something to photograph since it was already in his head.
Cindy Sherman posed as a variety of female character archetypes of the
entertainment industry in order to reveal its gender stereotypes as unstable and
constructed. Nan Goldin, whose work stems from the documentary tradition,
often employed subtle deceptions, daring the viewer to slow down and challenge
the authenticity of her snapshot-like photographs, in which she was not only
the photographer, but also the subject and director.
Clever use of staging and arrangement may help convey a more precise visual,
philosophical or emotional message, can make the viewer feel uncertain
and questioning the perceived reality, as well as help create a perfectly
convincing fiction. After all, in contrast to other media and in spite of the ever-
lasting debates concerning its authenticity, photography has the inherent quality
of making most viewers subconsciously assume a certain level of facticity,
or in other words what you see in a photograph is often regarded as what really
happened.
The main purpose of the studio assignment for winter term 2019/20 is to find
your own unique way how to use staging and arrangement in your work. Create
new environments, events and feelings through arranging compositions and
deliberately controlling the individual elements. In addition to being
a photographer, become also a director, stage and costume designer, and
a performer!
Your work on this assignment is not limited by the choice of genre,
by the technical approach, or by the amount of staging and arrangement applied.
The final series must consist of at least 7 photographs that were not manipulated
in post-production except for standard adjustments and retouching. To be more
precise, let’s make the distinction between manipulation and staging clear:
whereas a manipulated photograph is altered after the exposure has been made,
the staging of a photograph takes place before or during the shoot. Your work
on this series shall be the subject of weekly consultations throughout the whole
period of the winter term. The deadline to submit completed works is December

Obsah kurzu
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 studio is devoted to working with classic analog photography from cinematic film to large-format photography. Students have the opportunity to work with negatives up to 30x40cm and to subsequently produce on color paper in meter dimensions.
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. A unique original, where the bearer of the positive image is the negative, is photography.
The studio is dedicated to technological innovations, research and evaluation of the potential of digital photography and other technologies which take part in the recording of an optical image. Part of the studio are new light sources, managing aerial photography using drones, or acquiring extremely high-quality shots using various robotic devices.
Investigation of the potential for realizing one's creative intentions in relation to the selected technology is, among others, in studio discussions.
