Experimenting with photography 16 March – 27 April 2021

​Streaming ​
16 Mar 2021 - 27 Apr 2021
The series of events offers an introduction into Photography from a technical and creative viewpoint.

The first module will be dedicated to the equipment: the basic elements of a camera and a shot; this will be followed by detailed events devoted to three particular types of photographs: portrait, landscape and architecture, and still life. Each module will be made up of two events: the first focuses on theory, exploring specific techniques and examining the images pictures chosen by the speakers, while the second aims to analyse the photos taken by participants and discuss them together with the class. Between each event, participants will be given practical exercises to do by themselves to consolidate their practical understanding of the topics covered during the teaching module. By booking the first event, your enrolment will be valid for the entire course.
 
With Antonio and Francesca Cesari.
