General information regarding introductions
An introductory course takes place on different days at specific times, which are determined in advance by the workshop staff. It is compulsory to attend all dates of an introductory course.
Regular introductory courses as preparation for the project or specialist course work are organised by the photo workshop in the winter semester from around the beginning of November until the Christmas holidays, and in the summer semester from mid-April to the end of May. During the lecture-free period, it is also possible to organise introductory courses in consultation with the staff of the photo workshop.
The prerequisite for independent work within an area of the photo workshop after an introductory course is independent documentation of the contents of the introduction as well as prompt and repeated application of the practices learnt in the workshop.
Workshops
19. June 9–12h Glitching – Manipulation of Digital Image File Source Code
![[Translate to English:] verpixeltes Bild](/fileadmin/user/fak/gestaltung/hauptseiten/Werkstaetten/Fotowerkstatt/glitsch.jpg)
We will use different tools to manipulate the file data code of image files. The results differ with different image formats and manipulation techniques. The results are somewhat random but partly predictable in their style.
Photoshop Insights
On the last Monday of every month, we would like to exchange ideas with experts on specific topics relating to image editing with Adobe Photoshop.
You can work with the installed creative-cloud software or with your own hard- and software.
Do you have a topic that you would like to present? Then register as a lecturer for one of the dates! Time: 8:30–10h / Location PC pool in the photo workshop
Upcoming dates: 28 April on the topic: — / 26 May on the topic: —
14.03. 9–15h Large Format Architecture Photography
We use the large format camera to take photographs in the library on 20×25 and 10×12cm negative film.
At noon, the negatives are developed by machine and then we create contact prints together in the black and white lab.
21.03. 9-15h Medium Format Camera – Portrait
In the photo studio we create portraits on black and white filmon two sets with an analogue medium format camera. The films are developed by machine over noon, afterwards we create an analogue print in the black and white laboratory.
28.03. 9–15h »set.a.light 3D«-software in the photo studio
Luisa Pham will introduce us to the »set.a.light 3D« software. This makes it possible to first simulate ideas for a lighting set-up and perspective on the computer in order to assess its effect on the monitor. We will then set up, test and evaluate some of the sets in the photo studio under Luisa’s guidance.
This workshop is initially aimed at students who are already allowed to work independently in our photo studios.
