October 10 - Costa Rica
PHOTOGRAPHIC GENRES
WORKSHOP INFORMATION
A workshop where you will learn the treatment to give to each photographic situation.
When we travel to take photos or when we encounter an unexpected situation, the first thing we need to be clear about is what type of photograph we're going to take: a portrait, a landscape, a still life, a reportage. Do we want it to be a documentary-style photograph, an aesthetic one, an impactful one, etc.?
We will travel to a location where we will have the opportunity to photograph portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and create a good report of the entire event.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
GOALS
To introduce participants to the four photographic genres: Portrait, Still Life, Landscape, and Reportage. To learn how to approach each genre and how to create photographs in different situations.
IMPORTANT
We're going to Cartago by car. It would be ideal if there were some cars available to give rides to those who don't have their own vehicles. Thank you.
