The Photography Project - From idea to implementation

We are opening registrations for an intensive course dedicated to photographers who want to develop a coherent and well-structured photographic project, from choosing the theme to the final presentation. Under the guidance of Andrei Păcuraru, you will go through all the necessary steps to create a photographic project: identifying an idea relevant to you, planning the execution, selecting and editing the images, and, finally, presenting them.

This course offers a guided and interactive process, constant support and feedback tailored to each participant. Over seven sessions, you will learn how to organize your work, overcome obstacles in the process and develop your own style within a photographic project.

Course structure:

• Introduction to the photography project

  You will learn what a photography project entails and what elements make it successful. We will analyze various examples and discuss the essential stages of the work process.

  
  

• Choosing a topic and planning

  This session is dedicated to selecting a relevant and personal topic for each participant, as well as developing a concrete work plan.

• Progressive feedback

  Two sessions dedicated to evaluating work in progress, where you will receive constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement.

• Editing and visual coherence

  You will learn how to select the most suitable images for your project and create a unified aesthetic through the post-processing process.

• Problem solving

  An interactive session to address each participant's specific challenges, whether technical, conceptual or practical.

• Project presentation

  The course ends with a session dedicated to presenting completed projects to colleagues, with the opportunity to receive final suggestions and discuss next steps.
