講義概要
In the Intermediate Visual Image 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, which preferably 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. Students who luck technical knowledge will be assisted individually when there is available time during or after classes.

講義計画
Lesson 01 (1.5 : 1.5 ) (Friday 10th of October, 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.
For this workshop students will be requested to work in groups and within the groups each student will have to think of their own approach to the subject the group will decide to cover. The projects will have to relate to the students’ interests and sensitivity and to communicate their ideas.
Students will separate in temporary groups until final groups of three will be formed. The final groups and their project ideas will have to be decided by the end of the third lesson.
Examples of works by documentary photographers will be shown via a slideshow.
Lesson 02 ( 1.5 : 3 ) (Friday 17th of October, 16:50-19.05)
I will talk about different ways of working on a photo essay and I will especially focus on portraiture in documentary photography while looking at examples from international professional photographers’ photos via slideshows. We will be examining ways of approaching photographic portraiture, ways of lighting and choices of locations.
Student groups will have to choose students to be their models for next lesson’s photo-shooting. They will also have to think of locations, 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 to develop them.
Lesson 03 ( 3 : 6 ) (Sunday 19th of October, 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 LED lights for photography and videography. We will also be testing the use of props.
If some students have their own external flash units, they are welcomed to bring them so that we can talk about creative ways to use them.
Students will photograph the model of their choice by using those lights under my guidance.
The goal for each group of students will be to make portraits that will express the model’s personality, Each student in the group will have to take photos and also assist with the lighting.
By this day the final groups and their project ideas will have to be decided.
After this lesson, the LED lights will be available to students to borrow for working on their projects.
