Basic course of expressive photography

WHAT IS THE EXPRESSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY FOR US With this course we want you to discover the language of images. Each shot wants to communicate something of itself: this course will teach you to understand which object to choose to express an idea and how to interpret the subjects photographed by others to understand instead what they wanted to say. The course is aimed at all people who cultivate a particular interest in communication and emotional expression through images. We want to transform the photographic process with a sort of “Copernican revolution”, where in the center is no longer photography but the photographer, with all the emotional and expressive baggage that belongs to him. Your emotions can finally be transformed into magnificent frames, indelible in time and in the soul.

OUR OBJECTIVE, STEP BY STEP With this course we want to make you aware of the importance of communicative creativity and the rich potential of images. To do so, we will talk about the photographs with a reading key that will catch their ultimate meaning; we will discuss the camera and the objectives from a physical and communicative point of view to achieve an optimal expressive language, making you correctly choose the subjects of your shots and then learn the correct framing. The course will be divided into two exits and five theoretical lessons, in which all the tricks of expressive art will be exposed, to get to discuss, through the evaluation of your photos with the teacher, the postproduction of digital photographs. We want you to create beautiful images, which are able to enhance your emotions in the best way: from the image taken to the desired image, this will be our journey together. Taking a picture will never have been so exciting and suggestive.
