Introduction to Urban Photography

You will start the course knowing Pablo Casals, who will tell you how photography was present in his life since he was a child, and how his career in architecture filled him with tools to develop projects. In addition, you will know their main influences and references.

Pablo will introduce you to photography through obsession as a way to the final work. He will present his work methodology, how he approaches a project and how he develops his own language. You will see the teams that you usually work with and what your process is before going out to take pictures: think and plan!

To learn about urban photography you have to go out with a plan. Therefore, Pablo will take to the streets of Santiago de Chile based on his previous planning, to teach you by example, how you should do it, or to discover your case study, in this case, a building.

You will try to frame, manipulate the camera, take photographs in favor of light and the sun's path, all through the practical example of Pablo, looking for that magic between technique and intuition.

Then, you will go to postproduction. You will learn to visualize, classify and organize the material, and then choose 18 photographs that are coherent with the language proposed and pass them to editing.

Finally, Pablo will show you the whole process of printing digital photographs to print your photographic series and make some final considerations about it.
