Number of participants: 7
In the introductory part of the photo colony, you will be invited to reflect and present your vision of your photographic project addressing one or more EYE Brežice topics. With the mentor’s support you will then explore suitable locations and methods to present topics through photography in a personal, effective and visually appealing manner. The mentor will be available throughout the colony for discussions on the created works and support in selecting and arranging works for the exhibition on Saturday afternoon. In line with the topics of EYE Brežice the creation is expected to be within the framework of documentary, street, personally expressive and/or conceptually oriented photography. The creation within the colony will involve photography in digital technique with DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex), mirrorless cameras and/or mobile phone devices in a manner that allows viewing of photos on the computer.
