Aim
Have you ever stood in a landscape and felt something you wished you could capture—but didn’t know how?
Do you want to express more than just what you see in your surroundings—maybe a mood, a memory, or a sense of wonder?
Are you curious about how others interpret the land, light, and space through photography?
This is a creative, non-technical course in landscape photography—perfect for anyone curious about capturing the world around them.
You don’t need any prior photography knowledge—just a sense of curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to explore.
Throughout the course, we’ll dive into different ways of seeing the landscape—from classic approaches to more abstract and experimental ones.
I will encourage you to look beyond the obvious and find your own creative response to the world.
I will introduce you inspiring work by both historical and contemporary photographers, giving you plenty of inspiration and starting points to develop your own images based on weekly themes.
Objectives
At the end of the course you will be able to:
- Recognise and talk about key elements in landscape photography—from composition and mood to light and texture
- Get hands-on experience creating your own images in response to different themes and approaches
- Reflect on your creative process and think more deeply about how you see and interpret the idea of ‘landscape’
General Outline of a Lesson Plan for each Weekly Session
Each session will consist of mainly three parts:
Part I
Looking at your photographs (homework based on the theme of the previous week), commenting on them, suggesting new ideas, reflecting on your creative process, and articulating it into your own words. This discussion will be the core of each session, as it will provide you with the opportunity to extract ideas from your own work, discuss the making process and make decisions for your future explorations on the weekly projects to follow. At the same time, I will be answering your questions, helping you to clarify your ideas, and giving you suggestions and guidance for further experimentation.
Part II
Looking at the landscape photographic genre of each week, based on images by both classic and contemporary photographers. You will be engaging in a critical discussion about them and reflecting on questions about what compositional approach it has been used, what the intentions of the photographer might be, what the images mean to you based on your own interpretation, and any other questions that might be generated by you.
Part III
Summing up the main ideas, which were discussed during the previous parts and discussing the nature of your homework. This will be based on a fixed theme for everyone or on individual themes that each one of you might choose.
Handouts
At the end of each weekly session, I will be sending you e-handouts by email.
