The goal of this class is to give the students a basic understanding of how to interact in different photographic situations with the camera enabling them to gather pertinent information that can be used as research data in the field of Visual Anthropology.

Examination topics

In the process to gain a better understanding of Visual Anthropology the class will start with basic still camera techniques. To assure that all students are at the same technical level, assignments will be given to practice the technical part of photography, to learn about basic camera adjustments, to deal with different lighting situations, etc.
Exploring four aspects of Visual Anthropology (photo observation, photo interview, photo inventory and photo social interaction) as examples of the greater possibility of fieldwork. They are Photo Observation, Photo Interview, Photo Inventory and Photo Social Interaction. Through these mini projects the students achieve a basic feeling for the camera in the field dealing with its social and technical issues at the same time. The class will be taught in German and English.

Still camera techniques will be taught; therefore all students will need some type of camera!
