You learn to master the camera, the light and the techniques that the pros use. At the same time, you experience arctic surfing, sea eagles, street photography, a film festival, analogue photography, exhibitions and much more in nine countries!
Everyone can take nice pictures, but sometimes it doesn't work with auto…
When you take control shutter speed, aperture and ISO you can create more than the eye can see and the auto functions allow. With professional tools such as Photoshop, Lightroom and Camera RAW the impossible becomes possible.
At Photo/Experiences you learn camera technique, tips to capture the moments, how to use both natural and artificial light og digital finishing.
We also work with analog photo, manual cameras and dark room. When you master the analogue, you also become a better digital photographer.
Artificial intelligence has created shock waves in the photography community as well as most other industries in addition to our everyday lives. KI in photography is a separate project during the school year.
Good experiences make for good pictures
The year is full of highlights. You can drive wakeboarding at Mjøsa, spend the night in hammock, fly drone, ski or board in Trysil and go on television recording in Oslo. We are press photographers at the Movies on War film festival and watch strong films from around the world.
The year is very social, and together we travel on study trips to Budapest, Copenhagen, Lofoten and through Europe. In total, we travel to nine countries - including Norway. We will surf among snow-covered mountains in Lofoten, chase the northern lights, see sea eagles, walk along the streets of fantastic big cities, see exhibitions, eat good food and feel that we are alive.
The experiences should give you strong impressions, knowledge, experience, mastery and memories for life - together with other young people interested in photography. Of course, the camera is always with you.
Within a good framework, I have learned a lot about photography, myself and the world around me.
