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.

Assignment for the summer term 2022
Masks, masking and camouflage
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.
(Oscar Wilde)
Masks are closely linked with the history of artistic practice, from animistic spiritual use by indigenous tribes, through the colonialist appropriations of African aesthetic traditions by Fauvists and Cubists, to diverse contemporary trends questioning the setting of geopolitical infrastructure.
In a basic sense, a mask can be seen as a disguise that covers the face or a part of it
to protect health, conceal identity, for ritual purposes, to entertain, or to intimidate others. There are also masks that reveal more than they hide. Masks are wonderfully paradoxical in this way: while they may hide the physical reality, they can show us how a person wants to be seen. Such masks can be seemingly invisible. They are something that we wear metaphorically in order to somehow present ourselves to the world, while hiding what we really are thinking or feeling. How does one peek under such a mask and what happens when the mask falls off?
In addition to the above-mentioned levels of meaning, for the purposes of the studio assignment it is useful to extend the perception of masks to the area of camouflage
and masking. In this sense, masks do not have to only conceal the face, but as camouflage can cover entire objects, buildings and landscapes in order to create
an impression of mystery, to alter or challenge their function or to explore their forms. Masking can then be the process of covering or protecting certain parts of a picture
or surface from alteration, in order to create new layers or to directly separate
and emphasize a particular part of the image. In its most direct sense, masking is
an activity of adapting a person or object to its surroundings so that it is not easily seen or detected.
The aim of the studio exercise for the summer term 2021/22 is to explore new ways
of using masks, camouflages and masking by means of the photographic medium not only in the traditional sense, but especially in meanings that are figurative
and transcend the general interpretation of these words. Your work is not limited
by choice of genre or technical approach. You have the opportunity to choose
or discover a creative approach that suits you best, both in terms of expression
and execution. Your research and work-in-progress should be subject to regular consultations. The final work must be anchored in the medium of photography and should consist of at least six individual photographic images.

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.
