Up Close: Photography as a Way of Seeing
The closing event of the first "Up Close: Photography as a Way of Seeing" photographic study group. The presentation of the results of the first study group will be followed by an overview of the new study year 2018/19.
Based on considerations of the necessity for both the contemporary viewer and creator of the photographic image to be visually literate, we have developed a year-round informal education programme. It is intended for people whose view of the world contains the concept of photography, to help them as sensitive individuals face from up close the mission implemented through this medium. It introduces approaches to taking photographs and disseminating their message that are based on training the photographer's eye and personality rather than technically perfect equipment and skill.
A small group of participants will be taken through the course of five two-day workshops by a competent expert team. In a dynamic dialogue between theory and practice, they will be exploring interesting topics, guiding the participants to use their individual original expressions, and encouraging them to think critically about diverse genres in narrative photography and art, and about presenting their photographic work. What the participants are offered by the programme is knowledge as well as creative growth and encounters with guests, specialised photographers of international renown and even global fame.
Because photography is not only about being in the right place at the right time. It is a way of seeing the world!
