THE PHOTO JOURNAL

(4 sessions, January 17, 24, 31, February 7, 1-4pm)

Instructor: Kidlat de Guia.  Fee: P7,000.00

Photographing our daily lives to make a journal of sorts is the best way to evaluate and transform the way we see things. Students will embark on a path to self-discovery, having to photograph everyday for the duration of the course, regardless of other commitments. The contact sheet, whether analog or digital, will form a structure for seeing by mapping the daily evolution of perception. Students will produce individual journals that will provide a framework for their imagery and writing. By the end of the course, students will have uncovered new aspects of their creativity and themselves.

THE IDEA OF CREATIVITY IN PHOTOGRAPHY

Instructor: Johann Espiritu. Fee: P 7,500.00

How does one become creative in the realistic medium of photography? This course aims to answer the personal questions of what creativity means to you by examining why photography came to be, and how to take advantage of its unique characteristics as a means of creative self-expression.
