The course is designed as a practical training in photographic studio. The aim of the course is to present a simple and effective workflow. It is primarily about the ability to eliminate the amount of equipment used and focus on your own creative work. The course introduces different ways of working with light and emphasizes the concept of light and shadow.

The course is structured into six separate sessions combining theoretical and practical teaching. In the summer semester, the course focuses on alternative and experimental techniques related to the light sources (UV), the use of colour filters and multiple exposures.
