Students will familiarise themselves with photography as an artistic form of expression, work on a freely chosen topic, and discuss representative contemporary approaches. Understanding photographic vision and formulating an individual visual language are the goals of this course. However, more important than a playful approach is working professionally with analogue and digital processes. This also applies to production of the final image: Students will acquire experience in the black-and-white darkroom and learn basic image-processing techniques, right through to reproduction using digital printing methods.

The course takes two semesters and involves lively exchange with other courses in the Art faculty. At the end of the summer semester, the students organise an exhibition and, in this way, allow the public to reflect on their own personal work.
