PHOTOGRAPHY IS TO SIGHT WHAT POETRY IS TO SPEECH

Travel Photography

Just as with poetry, photography is a rich and pleasing way to convey our message. In travel photography, that message is usually the feel of a place and time that an artist wants to share with the viewer.

In that way, travel photography is perhaps the most diverse genre. Genre inspired by all others. With techniques of portrait photography we tell stories of individuals, with street photography we convey the pulse of urban spaces, with landscape photography we bring home breathtaking views of far places, etc.


Expected knowledge to attend: you should already be familiar with intermediate topics taught in the Photography 201 course.

Topics & Activities

Photography is to sight, what poetry is to speech - a rich and aesthetic way of expressing an artist's message.

In this fun and practical introduction to travel photography, we will do a deep dive into all the essentials of researching, planning, executing and delivering a stunning travel photography essay.

Travel Photography Gear

When you have to carry all gear on your back around the World, it becomes very important what you take. We will look into tips and tricks on how to make our travels more enjoyable.

Research

With travel photography, we try to tell stories. This is the defining characteristic that separates it from the other genres. If we want to tell an interesting story, we have to prepare for it.

Full Picture

The most boring perspective is our everyday perspective. For interesting photographs, we have to get low or high, close or far. And when you think you are done, don't forget to also turn around.

People

We will borrow from the genre of portrait, street and documentary photography and answer the old question: when to shoot first and when to ask first. Also how to pose people who have no modeling experience.

Nature

Constantly changing landscapes and exotic nature are some of my favourite photography subjects. They are also structural pillars of travel photography. We will learn how to catch breathtaking views, shy animals, etc.

Architecture

Architecture and still-life photography are important for the full story. Architecture defines the pulse of urban spaces and still life gives colour to our stories. It is also very important for us to capture the iconic landmarks.

Creative Photography

We will also test some more advanced photography techniques that give us more "telling" images. We will work with filters, lights, long and short exposures, etc.

Post-Process

There is NO digital photo that wouldn't be edited! We can only decide to either let some general algorithm do it or do it ourselves. We will learn how to select and edit our work to produce memorable stories.

Creative Editing

Travel photography is very tricky. Circumstances often don't align with our interests and we hit the wall of technical limitations. Luckily, we can work out a lot of challenges in post-production. We will try out blending, SNR, retouching, etc.

What You Need

for this Travel Photography Workshop:

Intermediate Knowledge of Photography

To get the most out of this workshop, you should already be familiar with intermediate-level course topics. No worries if you are a bit unsure about a couple of them - we will be doing additional explanations and reviews as we go. But if any module from the Photography 201 course sounds completely new to you, it would be best to arrange a private lesson to get you up to speed and if many of the topics sound like gibberish, I would recommend you first deepen your photography knowledge and start with the Photography 201 course.

Camera

We will be working with cameras, so you need one for this workshop. Phone will not be enough. The Camera can be a DSLR or mirrorless, but it is recommended for it to have a hot shoe. If you don't have it, you can also rent it for the duration of the lecture from the instructor. Just let us know beforehand.

Laptop & Software

We will need a laptop with the latest working version of software specified in the classroom. You can use a free trial license, no need to purchase it.

Misc.

Not mandatory, but if you do have it, bring with you a tripod, light mounts, ND filters, clamps, gels, etc. All your light/photography gear you would like to learn how to use. If you are missing something and the need arises, you can also rent it for the duration of the lecture from the instructor. Just let us know beforehand.
