Course Description

This course will offer students a foundation in one of the most diffused media of the contemporary world: photography.

Students will be immersed in the world of imagery by walking tours in the Florentine landscape including urban sites and historical monuments. Florence is an ideal city for photographic imagery. Apart from hosting some of the most precious artworks, it is blessed with a variety of buildings and the unforgettable Tuscan landscape. Relying on these unique features, students will focus on beginning digital photographic techniques including professional portfolio presentation and creative thinking.

 

During class time there will be theoretical lectures, technical demonstrations, slide shows, practical work, critiques and photo-shooting field trips. Since photography is an art and this is a practical course, students are expected to be creative and to actively participate in class critiques and photographic practices.
