About this class

Whether it's a report, landscape or portrait: After the workshop, you'll recognize better subjects, understand light and image effects, and take pictures more consciously. You move away from chance towards clear image decisions and tell targeted stories with your photos.

What you’ll do in the class

  • Brief introduction: How do you create images that have an effect
  • Learn to see: recognize subjects, perceive light, consciously select image sections
  • Use technology in a targeted manner: Aperture, time and ISO only as much as necessary (smartphone or camera)
  • Practical exercises indoors and outdoors: take pictures, observe, try out
  • Select and discuss images: What does your photo say — and what doesn't?
  • Tips for easy post-processing and development

Who is the class suitable for?

  • Beginners and amateur photographers with smartphones or cameras
  • Anyone who wants to make their photos more targeted
  • Also suitable for advanced users who want to improve their “photographic vision”
  • For everyone who values practice, sharing and feedback
