DESCRIPTION
Learn how photography can be used in a foreign environment as a powerful tool for documentary storytelling, cross-cultural understanding, artistic expression, and personal exploration. After an introduction to the fundamentals of photography, both traditional and digital, your camera will be constantly trained on the city of Florence itself, its architecture, history, people, and rich culture. As you develop your technical, compositional and critical skills as a photographer you will create a portfolio of images that will both showcase and celebrate your whole unforgettable study abroad experience.
Your in-class workshops will develop your practical and theoretical skills, and your photographic trips throughout the streets, squares and gardens of the city center will be complemented with a guided in- depth visit to galleries and exhibitions.
Throughout the course your instructor will frequently deliver critical reviews of your work, but you will also be actively involved in analyzing and evaluating your own work and the work of others in a collaborative atmosphere of constructive reflection and criticism. You'll have the opportunity to post your work on the CEA CAPA blog in order to record and display your experiences.
