If the student’s knowledge of studio photography is limited we will encourage to study the theory through the book ‘Light: Science and Magic’ by Fil Hunter, Steven Biver and Paul Fuqua, Focal Press, 5th edition.
STILL LIFE (3 ECTS)
In the module Still life, we encourage students to reflect on all facets of a directed, staged image. Therefore we focus on developing an efficient working methodology where students learn how to deal with all aspects of image making: technically, content wise and form.
A basic knowledge of safe operation of photographic gear (camera, studio lights, light meter, software,….) is essential but will be further explored.
Students will participate at the project week ‘product photography on location’ in Mechelen as part of the curriculum.
