We invite you to the next photography workshop. This time we take a closer look at landscape photography. Don’t be fooled by the common perception of it. These are definitely not just “pretty photos of banal views”! The English language offers photographers the word “scape”. Photographers of classic, pure landscapes create landscapes. Those who photograph in cities – cityscape, and seascape by the sea. This way of treating landscape photography shows that the genre is wide and a lot can be done here. The workshop will be led by Marzena and Maurycy Śmierzchalski/ Frames Photography Study.

Workshop topic: Gdańsk Unobvious.

• Theory and practice are ahead of us.
• Workshop implementation: 15.10 – theory, 16.10 – practice, 24.10 – analysis of works by master Maurycy Śmierzchalski.

DAY 1: 15.10.2022, 10:00 – 13:00 (THEORY)

• Due to the specific topic of the workshops, we will hear about a less typical way of showing reality.
• Perspective variability, the use of different focal lengths and photo processing methods for the purposes of this topic are just a few of the topics that we will discuss during the theoretical part.

DAY 2: 16.10.2022, 9:00 – 13:00 (PRACTICE)

• Plein-air in Gdańsk.
• You can choose from (which you will agree with Maurycy Śmierzchalski on the day of the theoretical classes – the master will present you photographic pros and cons:) ) we have: Lower Town, Nowy Port and the vicinity of ul. Northern Uprising in Gdańsk Brzeźno (in the footsteps of Günter Grass’s novel). These three locations, very diverse, will give us an image of Gdańsk as a city, a fishing settlement and a port.

DAY 3: 24.10.2022, 17:00 – 20:00 (ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF WORKS, PRACTICAL TIPS)

• We see the works prepared by the workshop participants. Selected (5) are presented by the authors personally; Photographers’ stories about the creation of these photos are welcome.

Analysis and evaluation of works as well as advice and recommendations – led by Maurycy Śmierzchalski.
