Workshop topic:

Elbphilharmonie – The day will come

Workshop contents & structure:

In this workshop we will discuss how to approach photography conceptually. The images of the Elbphilharmonie shall transport the idea “The day will come”. During a photo walk through the Hafen-City towards the Elbphilharmonie we will conceptually realise the topic together. For this, we will, among other things, include symbols in the picture so that a view of the future and with it the completion of the Elbphilharmonie becomes apparent. To give an example, please imagine an image with an opening flower bud in the foreground and the urban structure of the Elbphilharmonie façade in the background. Of course we will use the camera’s suitable Art Filter so that afterwards we can look at the images directly coming from the camera.

Theory:

• Introduction into architecture photography with simple means
• Introduction into conceptual photography
• How to create a story in the image
• Obvious or subtle storytelling – how does it work, what to use when 


Practice:

• We will go on a photo walk through Hafen-City together
• We will take photos of the Elbphilharmonie together
• We will implement what we have learnt together
• We will discuss your image ideas together
• We will review some of the images shot
