Which photographers have inscribed themselves in our pictorial memory? What is the difference between a snapshot and a work of art? Does this difference even exist anymore? Do you feel like developing your visual skills and learning to express what you see? Photographer Daniel Mayer will present various photographic positions. These works will be discussed and analyzed together. Conversation about current and historical images and training of perception will be the focus.

In this walk through the neighbourhood of Schwabing and around the Christmas market at Münchner Freiheit, you will begin to capture the essence of what you see, be it architecture, people or details at the Christmas market. Your instructor will help you eliminate distractions and see and capture subjects with a more creative eye. During this walk you will practise setting up compositions, looking to all corners of the frame. The photo tour will give you the opportunity to practise what you learn.

Our main focus is "The Camera". During this course you will become familiar with all your camera's most important functions and how to use them. You will also gain the technical know-how to start making the most of your digital SLR and develop a creative approach to photography as well as learning how to set the menu correctly to get the best technical results. We will go on location to shoot our pictures then evaluate them later in class.
