Seeing the Subject & Controlling the Image **Extended Photography Workshop** Date: Friday 15th of May Start: 17:00 Duration: approx. 4 hours ***Important, get in touch for a prepayment to secure your spot*** This workshop is created for early-stage photographers and people who are just starting out. I have designed it as a kickstart to your photography journey, helping you build solid foundations early on so you don’t hit a creative plateau after learning only classic rules of photography. The workshop is beginner-friendly and assumes no deep technical knowledge. At the same time starting with basics, we will be building foundation that will help you become even better than some of the professionals. We’ll start with the fundamentals of exposure and camera control, then move into composition and subject-focused photography. The goal is not just to know *how* to set your camera, but to understand why you make certain choices and how they support the image. Many beginners shoot from where they stand, reacting to scenes instead of observing them. This workshop helps you slow down, move with intention, and decide what the photograph is actually about before pressing the shutter. *** ##### What this workshop focuses on * Camera basics & exposure How your camera sensor works, what exposure really is, and how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO affect the image. We’ll also talk about why underexposing slightly is often a deliberate choice. * Composition fundamentals Classic compositional rules, how to apply them simply, and how to avoid forcing them into every image. * Finding the subject Learning to recognise what the photo is about — even in complex or messy scenes. * Subject-focused photography How to move, change perspective, how to know what actually you photograph and how to do it. * Subject separation Using depth, light, contrast, and framing to make the subject stand out. * Seeing before shooting Developing the habit of observing becoming more aware and more deliberate with your photography choice. *** ### This workshop is for you if… * you’re new to photography or still unsure about camera settings * you want a strong foundation for visual arts. * you feel your photos lack focus or intention * you want to avoid common beginner mistakes early on ### This workshop is not for you if… * you’re already confident with exposure and subject-driven images * you’re mainly looking for advanced lighting or post-processing techniques * you want quick tricks instead of understanding photography. Learning photography is like learning a language, I do not teach you how to order/photograph a coffee cup but give you understanding how to shoot/say anything, yet learning is a longer process and you will need more practice later to master it. With this course I will give you a strong base and it prepares you for the **Light** and **Storytelling** workshops later on. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **To book the workshop and learn more about it you can visit:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/) **And get in touch to book:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/)

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

**Begegnungen jenseits von Small Talk** Es gibt Momente im Leben, in denen sich Fragen nicht mehr übergehen lassen. Zu Sinn. Zu Beziehungen. Zu Innerer Ruhe, Weisheit, Spiritueller Ganzheit. Zu dem, was wirklich zählt. Dieses Treffen bietet einen Raum, um diesen Fragen bewusst zu begegnen — in Verbindung mit dir selbst und im Austausch mit anderen. Mit echten Gesprächen, klarer Reflexion und einfachen, umsetzbaren Impulsen für den Alltag. Ein zentraler Bestandteil ist das, was ich **Soul Polishing** nenne: eine regelmäßige Praxis, mit sich selbst in Kontakt zu bleiben — und innere Balance, Ruhe und Stärke zu entwickeln. Nicht einmal. Sondern immer wieder — wie Zähneputzen. Ein erfülltes Leben entsteht nicht zufällig. Es entsteht durch Aufmerksamkeit, durch ehrliches Hinschauen und durch kleine, bewusste Schritte im Alltag. Du kannst selbstverständlich auch alleine kommen. Die Atmosphäre macht es leicht, in Kontakt zu kommen. Du entscheidest selbst, wie viel du teilen möchtest — Zuhören ist genauso willkommen. Der Abend verbindet Momente der Stille und innerer Relexion mit Austausch und Raum für Begegnung. Open end — für ein entspanntes Miteinander. Du gehst mit mehr Klarheit. Mehr Ruhe. Und einem stärkeren Gefühl, wieder näher bei dir selbst zu sein. Lass dich inspirieren, begegne Gleichgesinnten und genieße eine ruhige, herzliche Atmosphäre. Für Kaffee, Tee, kleine Snacks und Getränke ist gesorgt. Beitrag: € 15 pro Person (zur Deckung der Kosten für Raum und Verpflegung) Ich freue mich auf dich. Dieter Langenecker [www.langenecker.com](http://www.langenecker.com/ "http://www.langenecker.com") Schau' dir dazu dieses kurze **[Video](https://youtu.be/In8dqdxpCF4)** an.

Let’s make a leporello — a small zig-zag folding book — and fill it with drawings, paintings, sketches, words, patterns, or anything else that comes to mind. There’s no strict theme for this gathering. You can come with a special idea, or simply experiment and see where the process takes you. What to bring: • paper • ruler • scissors • your favorite drawing or painting materials The table will be covered, so feel free to bring acrylic paints as well. This is not a workshop or guided class, but an open and relaxed creative gathering where we make art together, exchange ideas, and enjoy the process.

NFT's are here to stay folks!
