講義概要
An introduction to documentary photography as an artistic expression and an invitation to join the adventure of documenting the world around us in a creative way.
DESCRIPTION
During the Basic Visual workshop, students have been focusing on learning the basics of photography and on developing their visual language while working on a project.
In the Intermidiate Visual workshop/ Documentary Photography Workshop, the students will be learning how to further develop their artistic sense and visual language by making conscious choices that will create their individual way to communicate their ideas and statements on a subject.
After the first guidance lessons, students will be requested to choose a subject on which to work on till the end of the workshop.
During lessons we will be studying photos by international documentary photographers via slideshows, in order to widen the students’ perspective and to provide ideas and inspiration for working on their projects.
We will also be talking about different presentation ways in order to choose the most appropriate for presenting each project at the end of the workshop.
Students applying for this workshop are requested to have basic knowledge of photography and to own cameras that can also operate on a manual mode. Basic technical knowledge notes will be provided but we will not be spending much time talking about them in the class. Having basic knowledge of photo-editing software such as “Adobe Photoshop” or “Adobe Lightroom” would also be useful. Students can use their own computers or the computers provided by the university which will have “Adobe Photoshop” and “Adobe Bridge” installed on them.

講義計画
PLAN:
Lesson 01 (1.5 : 1.5 ) (Friday 1st of November, 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 of 10 selected photos each.
Introduction to documentary photography and on what we will be doing during the workshop.
We will talk about the importance of developing an individual photographic language and how to decide on working on a project for the workshop
I will present different photographic projects and explain the way photographers make decisions in order to work on them, the way they start, how they approach people and situations before they actually start taking photos.
Students will be requested to think deeply of what they would like to communicate through their photography and on which project would be more appropriate for them for doing so. Each student would have to decide on their own project ideas during the next three lessons. The projects will have to relate to the students’ interests and sensitivity and to communicate their ideas.
Examples of works by documentary photographers will be shown via a slideshow.
Lesson 02 ( 1.5 : 3 ) (Friday 8th of November, 16:50-19.05)
I will talk about portraiture in documentary photography while also looking at examples from international professional photographers’ photos in a slideshow. We will be examining the way the body is presented in a portrait, choices of lighting in order to create mood, space and the use of objects as elements that talk about the person being photographed.
Each student will have to choose one of the other students to be his or her model for next lesson’s photo-shooting. They will also have to think of props (objects, clothes, make-up, background, etc.) they will need to bring for photographing this person.
We will be discussing the students’ project ideas and I will help them develop them so that they can eventually make their choices.
Lesson 03 ( 3 : 6 ) (Sunday 10th of November, 10:15-15:45)
Gathering at the university where I will demonstrate the use of continuous light (not flash light) for creating mood in portrait photography. We will be using professional LED lights. We will also be testing the use of props.
Students will photograph the model of their choice by using those lights under my guidance. The time we have will be shared among the participating students.
The goal for each student will be to make a portrait that will express the model’s personality, the photographer’s opinion about it, or the photo can be a collaboration between the photographer and the model in order to make a photo that represents an idea. (When necessary, a third student will assist with the lighting)
By this day the students will have to make their final decisions about which projects they will be working on.
(There will be an one hour lunch break but the exact time will be decided on the day)
Lesson 04 ( 1.5 : 7.5 ) (Friday 15th of November, 16:50-19.05)
We will be discussing the previous lesson’s/photo-shooting’s experience.
I will present slideshows with photographic projects by international professional photographers and I will be analyzing their approach to their subjects by focusing on the semiology in their photos.
We will look and comment on the pictures that the students produced in relation to their projects.
Lesson 05 ( 1.5 : 9 ) (Friday 22nd of November, 16:50-19.05)
We will look and comment on the pictures that the students produced in relation to their projects. I will advise them on how to proceed.
We will talk about photography and its relation to memory
I will present slideshows with photographic projects by international professional photographers and I will be analyzing their approach to their subjects.
Lesson 06 ( 1.5 : 10.5 ) (Friday 29th of November, 16:50-19.05)
We will look and comment on the pictures that the students produced in relation to their projects. I will advise them on how to proceed.
We will also talk about different ways of presentations for their projects.
I will talk about how photography is used in the Media

Lesson 07 ( 1.5 : 12 ) (Friday 6th of December, 16:50-19.05)
Final selection of pictures that the students produced in relation to their projects. Creation of a sequence of photos for each project.
We will decide on ways of presentation and how we will get organized for the next class, which will be the final one.
Preparation of the photos for printing
(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.
Lesson 8 ( 3 : 15 ) (Sunday 8th of December, 10:15-15:45)
Working with the students on the presentation of their projects. Printing and setting up a photo-exhibition of selected photos from their finished projects. Preparation of other ways of presentation that have been decided in the previous class (for example: Printing of photo books on which we will apply simple binding, creation of slideshows with music etc.)
(There will be an one hour lunch break but the time will be decided on the day)

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.
