Espacio Cultural Excelencias in Madrid calls for a photography course to be delivered by photographer Javier Luengo on May 12, 13 and 18.
The event targets those enthusiasts who, in spite of having basic skills, don’t know all of the photographic resources and techniques, so it’s going to be eminently practical. However, it includes a brief theoretical introduction tackling the history of photography and its evolution to date, through the finest professionals and their innovations.
As for the practical side, it will include different didactical themes such as: the mechanics of Reflex cameras; manual technique (Shutter, Aperture, etc.), image composition and light processes, color, digital negative and copy.
The first meeting (Saturday May 12, 12.00 h - 15:00 h and 17:00 h - 21:00 h) will include the formal-theoretical moment, rounded off with first activities in the street, which continue the day after (15:00 h - 18:00 h). A commented presentation of the pictures taken by the students during the week is scheduled on Friday, May 18 (17:00 - 21:00).
To join the course, which costs €80, you must contact Espacio Cultural Excelencias or Grupo Excelencias’ offices. You must have a Reflex camera.
