Learn how to get the most out of
your equipment and develop a keener eye at the same time. The goal of
this course is to teach the amateur photographer how to think and work
like a pro without compromising fun and creativity. This course
condenses 16 years of experiences as a self-made, freelance photographer
in the movie, fashion, travel, sports, news, and advertising industries,
from Paris to Tapei, Tokyo, and now Shanghai. At the end of the ten
weeks, photography can even become a job opportunity for the most
pro-minded students. You will gain more confidence and creative
sensitivity as you learn to implement easier and more-efficient methods. On the budget and technical side, students will get a complete overview
of all necessary equipment, as well as practical advice on how to save
money and make the decisions that are right for you. We will simplify
questions of film type, camera operation, shutter speeds, apertures,
focal lengths, and reading your light meter. Nobody will be left behind. All techniques from manual camera controls to digital post-production
enhancement are included, as well as the hardware and software skills
you need for uploading and producing outstanding digital photographs.
On the human side, you will discover some exclusive and constructive
advice to prepare you for photo shoots, including filling your bag and
choosing your gear like a pro. Out in the field, you will know how to
move, to get in touch with people, and make the most out of the subject
you are willing to shoot. On the creative side, both professional
photography lectures and hands-on workshops provide valuable insights
into frame composition, using accessories, and lighting controls. On the
whole, you will learn to resolve technical, aesthetic, and conceptual
issues while creating a personal project through a series of images
processed on computer and viewed on the classroom projector within a supportive environment. Students should bring a working camera that can be
switched to manual with a built-in light meter to the first session, or
be prepared to purchase (or borrow) one after consultation with the
instructor. While filling in the entry form, don’t forget to indicate
the camera type you are working with: reflex or compact, digital or
film. This course will also include a course handbook which can be taken
with you at the end of ten weeks.
