Events

The Basic Photography Course is directed to people that are not familiar with the language and skills of photography.

In this course we will work about the technical structure of photography and, at the same time, about the aesthetic and stylistic aspects of this interesting visual language. The course will consist of both theoretical lessons, where images will be shown and commented, and training experience with outdoor and indoor lessons. There will be two outdoor trainings, followed by a critical analysis of the resulting photos. The schedule of outdoors training will be planned with participants, and they probably will take place during the week-end or in the evening-night time.
The suggested photo-equipment is: digital or analog reflex camera.

The following program can be partially modified and readjusted according to the requests of participants:

- History of photography: introduction to the “camera obscura” concept; the origin of
the photography; overview about great photographers of 1800, 1900 and Contemporary.

- The properties of digital/analog reflex camera:
photo-equipment: the body digital/analog reflex camera; photographic film/electronic
image sensor; the shutter; different focal lens: normal lens; wide angle lens; long-focus
lens; zoom lens; close-up (macro) lens.

- Photography styling: observing the reality; choosing the subject and the point of
view; organizing the image in frame; composing; identifying the focus of interest;
collimating differents layers; the line of the horizon; the relationships between “close-up” and “faraway”/ subject and background; focusing: out-of-focus, clear, blurred, “frozen”.

- Visualization of photographic image: adjusting the aperture and the time; light and
exposure; the ISO, the “grain”/ the resolution. Light characteristics: frontal, lateral,
