Reportage (advanced course)

ITALIAN version

The advanced course of photo reporting presupposes that the student is in possession of the basic notions of photographic techniques. The course consists of twelve weekly or bi-weekly lessons of the duration of three hours each, integrating the analysis of the work of the students with the study of the language of photography as used by the great masters of modern photography. The objective of the course is to realize a thematic reportage (on a topic to be agreed upon with the instructor) through a series of photographs in black and white (minimum 4 and maximum 12).
Upon request the in-class instruction can be integrated with visits to photography exhibits and encounters with famous photo reporters. At the end of the course students will be awarded a certificate of attendance.
