Grading

In this subject of creative photography, reflection, experimentation and practice will be the three central axes of the subject, with them the student will make a final photographic project, as a final synergy of the acquired knowledge.

Individual and collective photographic experimentation, and opening new photographic possibilities are part of the objectives of the subject.

This is not a photographic technique subject, but photographic language and creation, therefore no digital retouching classes will be taught.

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
A student who does not present the final work and who has less than 50% unexcused and recovered attendance, with tutorials or assignments, will be considered: Not Presented.

Single Assessment:
Unique assessment:
Single final delivery of the final photo project. (Respecting the presentation instructions given by the teacher.)

Minimum requirements to pass:
Attendance at 80% of the sessions is mandatory to pass.

We will value 50% the attitude, effort and evolution of the student and the other 50% the final result presented, a photographic project.

Mentorship

Students can request the tutorials they need by email to the teacher.
We will carry out the online tutorials at times to be agreed between the teacher and the student.

Communication and interaction with students

Apart from direct communication in classes there are two ways of communication:
tutorials and e-mail.

Remarks

This creative photography subject will aim to expand knowledge of the photographic language through visual reflection, image modification and manipulation and the creation of a personal photographic project.

Through image manipulation, photographic practice and the study of the work of photographers who use the image from different perspectives and contexts, we will acquire different tools and resources to work with our photographs.
