## **Architekturfotografie Workshop – Architektur mit der Kamera neu entdecken** Der *Architekturfotografie Workshop* zeigt dir, wie Du Gebäude und Bauwerke eindrucksvoll in Szene setzen kannst. Du lernst, Innen- und Außenaufnahmen bewusst zu gestalten, architektonische Details fotografisch zu interpretieren und Deine persönliche Bildsprache zu entwickeln. Architekturfotografie ist weit mehr als reine Dokumentation – sie verbindet Technik, Kreativität und ein geschultes Auge für Formen, Linien und Perspektiven. Im Workshop nutzen wir die Architekturfotografie als Medium des forschenden Sehens. Das bedeutet: Du arbeitest sowohl intuitiv-künstlerisch als auch mit klaren fotografischen Entscheidungen. Ziel ist es, dreidimensionale Architektur in ausdrucksstarke zweidimensionale Bilder zu übersetzen, die Atmosphäre, Proportionen und Strukturen einer Bauweise sichtbar machen. Nach einer fundierten theoretischen Einführung setzen wir die Grundlagen sofort in die Praxis um. Auf einer Exkursion fotografierst Du frei nach eigenem Konzept und erhältst gezielte Aufgaben, um neue Techniken zu erlernen. Dadurch entwickelst Du Sicherheit im Umgang mit Perspektive, Belichtung, Bildausschnitt und Komposition. Die entstandenen Fotos und Bildserien werden im Kurs gemeinsam besprochen, sodass Du wertvolles Feedback erhältst und deine fotografischen Fähigkeiten gezielt verbessern kannst. **Ablauf des Architekturfotografie Workshops:** * **Tag 1:** Theorie – Einführung in die Architekturfotografie, Grundlagen und Technikvermittlung im Lette Verein. Praxis – erste Fotoübungen in Schöneberg. * **Tag 2:** Exkursion – vielfältige Innen- und Außenaufnahmen, gezielte Übungen zur Architektur- und Detailfotografie. * **Tag 3:** Theorie – Präsentation und Analyse der bearbeiteten und unbearbeiteten Fotos mit Fokus auf Konzeption, Serien, Bildausschnitte und Präsentation. Praxis – gemeinsames Fotografieren im Lette Verein. Der Workshop richtet sich an Fotografie-Einsteiger:innen ebenso wie an Fortgeschrittene, die ihre Kenntnisse in der Architekturfotografie vertiefen möchten. Ob für künstlerische Projekte, berufliche Anwendungen oder als neue kreative Ausdrucksform – dieser Kurs vermittelt Dir alle Grundlagen, um Architektur bewusst wahrzunehmen und fotografisch festzuhalten. **Lerne, Architektur mit neuen Augen zu sehen – und sie mit der Kamera ausdrucksstark einzufangen.** Bitte bringt eine Kamera mit und optional zur Exkursion ein Stativ. Das Portfolio der Dozentin könnt ihr [hier](https://milahacke.de/downloads/HACKE-Mila_Portfolio.pdf) abrufen. Bildungsurlaub: Dieser Kurs ist gemäß § 10 Absatz 1 Satz 3 Berliner Bildungszeitgesetz vom 05.07.2021 als Veranstaltung der beruflichen Weiterbildung anerkannt. ### Kursinformation Anmeldung: https://lette-akademie.de/kurse/architekturfotografie/ Termine: Di., 31.

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.
