The photography workshop engages with the photographic image as an artistic medium of articulation. A mass medium, photography has become an everyday visual language, and thus a challenge for the medium in terms of creative impact. The workshop provides students with a grounding in practical and technical aspects of analogue and digital technology so that they can gain a personal take on photography as an artistic medium divorced from functional reproduction patterns. Creating technically reproducible pictures is a ubiquitous feature of the artist's craft and expertise in this discipline has become vital for many areas and objectives.

The photography workshop offers elementary and advanced courses and events and helps students to conceive and realise individual works of art. One focus is a satisfactory documentation of the student's own artistic photographic products coupled with an emancipated approach to the photographic image as an autonomous form of artistic expression.

 

The workshop for photography is one of the numerous artistic workshops of the AdBK Nuremberg. They accompany the studies in the artistic classes.

 

Information on the study of photography can be found on the page of the Klasse für Fotografie under the management of Prof. Katja Eydel
