As an artistic medium, photography is a great way to express yourself. Photographers try to depict
something they’ve seen or imagined in a unique an interesting way. Most of them, however, will
see something pretty and record it on film or a sensor without even thinking of improving what they
see in the frame. But what is that extra something that makes photographs truly remarkable and
make the viewer take notice? Are the exotic locations and the strange people you visited? Is it the
vibrant colours? Spectacular scenery can carry the image, but it’s not enough. In order to create
a compelling image you need more. In this workshop, Yannis demonstrates certain design and art
direction techiniques and assigns excercises that help students discover what it truy takes to make
an image you can be proud of.
