Objectives of the Course Comprehensive understanding of architectural lighting and composition.
Analyzing how the particular and complex mediated fact of digital photography allows for new means to describe architecture.
Express understanding of 3D environment by manipulation of 2D images.
Course Content The foundation of digital photography is the potential to define an idea or concept by manipulation (focusing, framing, editing, etc.) of digital image acquisition methods for the purpose of communicating with others. The main question of the course is how architecture can be explained by digital photography and the purpose that manipulated photographic images will assume. The course consists of 3 modules: theory and technique, defining concepts, manipulation. As an outcome student design their own course portfolio.
Course Methods and Techniques The course consists of 3 modules: theory and technique, defining concepts, compositions and production by manipulation. As an outcome students will design their own course portfolio and each student will submit final work for contribution to the semester exhibition.
