 | Course description:
|
Understanding cameras, lenses, light behaviors, and other similar stuff are fundamental. They are the tools. But teaching someone, only, how to master type-writing, is not what makes him/her a poet.
Photography is another way to express yourself, through capturing your visual experience & sharing it with others. How attracting is your visual, depends mainly on how you see it.
“Art of seeing” provides comprehensive, visual-art oriented photography courses. Based on international standards, with nontraditional approaches. In which we focus (plus the basic tools) on developing the participant’s visual skills & art concepts.
“I am not interested in shooting different things; I am interested in shooting things differently” Ernst Haas.
