Teaching and Knowledge BaseI have been teaching practical photography in Berlin, Germany for eight years. Practical photography entails a pragmatic combination of theory and technique. It encompasses the acquisition of skills necessary to communicate effectively through images and the establishment of a professional workflow to implement images and skills efficiently. It combines camera handling, analogue darkroom techniques, studio lighting and digital editing mixed in with psychology and gestalt theory. Below are some notes on assorted subjects from my classes, intended for my students but open to all. |
