講義計画

Lesson 01 (1.5 hours) (Friday 12th of April, 16:50-19.05)
Students should be advised in advance to bring samples of their photos so that I can see the level of their photographic skill. They can show me prints or they can give me some digital photos to look at via a memory stick, DVD, etc. They should show me maximum 10 selected photos each.
Introduction on documentary photography and on what we will be doing during the workshop. Examples of works by famous documentary photographers will be shown via a slideshow.
We will talk about ideas on projects that they students will work on throughout the workshop. The projects will have to relate to the students’ interests and sensitivity.

Lesson 02 (1.5 hours) (Monday 15th of April, 16:50-19.05)
I will talk about composition, color and light as means to artistically photograph the world around us while at the same time expressing personal feelings and ideas. Examples from international professional photographers’ photos will be shown via a slideshow.
We will decide on projects that the students will work on throughout the workshop.

Lesson 03 (7 hours) (Sunday 21st of April, 10:15-17:00)
Gathering at the university where I will talk with slideshow examples about composition and use of light in street photography, I will answer technical questions and I will explain in more detail the purpose of the day’s on-location photo-shooting.
The theme will be free. The goal will be to exercise in street photography and create interesting compositions while also trying to convey emotions.
Photo-shooting on location with the students. We will go to the area near the university. We will start taking photos together while I will be checking the students’ photos on their cameras. Later the students will do photos in the area for one hour by themselves.
I will be waiting at the class for the students to return and when they are back I will comment on their photos and we will select the best pictures. We will do some small corrections in Photoshop as I will be introducing basic editing techniques.
(There will be a lunch break but the time will be decided on the day)

Lesson 04 (1.5 hours) (Tuesday 23th of April, 16:50-19.05)
I will present slideshows with examples of storytelling by international professional photographers.
We will discuss the projects that the students will choose to work on and I will give them ideas on what kind of photos they could do for creating a photo-feature that tells a story as they want to tell it.
We will look and comment on the pictures that the students produced in relation to their projects.

(for the next class the students will have to prepare simple captions for their photos and small introductory text where they will describe what their project is about. If they can they should prepare the text in English. If not they can prepare it in Japanese. Their names written in Kanji and in Latin characters should also be included.
They should bring the text in the next class in digital form with a memory stick or it should be sent to me before the next class via email)

教科書・参考書等

Photocopies with technical information on composition, samples of photos and on how to produce photos that will document an event will be provided to the students in the first lesson.

成績評価

Your grade for the course will be based on your participation in our class meetings and the work you produce for the classes. This, however, requires that you attend class regularly and also that you be prepared for class by doing any required research, shooting the required pictures and selecting the images to view in the class in advance. These you can bring on a CD/DVD or a memory card. 70% of your course grade will come from the effort you will put and the quality of work that you will be able to produce.
