Pinhole Photography Workshop
by Pinhocchio / Laura Fiorio
Workshop: Saturday, February 27, 2016, 10-18h (Facebook Event)
Language: German, English or Spanish
Fee: 65 €
Description
WORKSHOP CONTENT
The workshop is based on fun, self production and recycling. no previous knowledges in the field of photography are required. The workshop will be held in german, english or spanish.
Everyone can discover how photography really works, with no need to buy a camera, but just trying to build an own self-made d-i-y camera with recycled material. Building and playing with the principles of photography helps out understanding them. creating something unique and personalized in the era of digital and reproduction helps to just stop and think about the meaning of photography itself.
after a brief theoretical introduction the workshop will be developed in practical terms: participants will construct cameras, go outside, shoot, and learn how to develop and fix in the darkroom.
the results of the workshops will be shown to the public in the gallery during an exhibition which will take place at schwarzekatze/weisserkater during the following week.
