All artists need some basic knowledge of photography. Since art has gone virtual and many artists are involved in graphic design, web design, film making and the like, photography serves as the basis for their visual expression. In this workshop students learned about camera obscura – the old technique of taking photos with the help of an empty dark object – something like a cookie yare. Students thus created self-portraits or selfies with the help of boxes. Moreover, they went crazy with creating out-of-the-box portraits in the dark room with natural objects such as leaves, branches, seeds, etc. For the majority of students this was the first time they entered a dark room and worked with chemicals. Studnets created more than 30 artistic portraits and photograms. Mentor: Sonja Lebedinec Radigues.
