GOAL

During the entire workshop every student will be encouraged to develop a personal idea of photojournalism that will slowly take shape in a true and real project which will be introduced at the end of the meetings. All students’ works will be displayed in a photo exhibit organized by Berlino Schule and Berlino Magazine.

THE TEACHER

Gianluca Pardelli is a respected italian photojournalist, writing for The Guardian and other national and international magazines. Also specialized in Eastern Europe reportage (he studied Slavic studies). In 2013 he travelled to Democratic People’s Republic of Korea also known as North Korea. Here, in one of the most isolated and little-known country of the world, he photographed a surprising ordinary every-day life hidden by the façade of the regime’s triumph architecture. “North Korea can be considered one of the few realities of the Eastern Bloc who survived the fall of the Berlin Wall. The country developed a form independent totalitarianism, different from the one embodied by Lenin or Castro”. Portraying north-koreans is not a common task. “I have travelled following an organized Tour. It couldn’t be otherwise. Residents are curious about foreigners, but they are also afraid of them. They are shy but happy at the same time. It is a strange mix, surely very interesting for a photographer”. Here some of his photos.

PLAN

The course in photojournalism and documentary photography aims to provide the participants with a basic knowledge of the photographic discipline as one of the most efficient story-telling instruments available on the market. The course is structured in seven different units divided in two full days.
Over the course of our two full-day lectures, we will go through each phase of the photojournalism:

1. Choose.

2. Find.

3. Research.

4. Plan.

5. Travel and Shoot.

6. Edit and Write

7. Pitch and Sell.

After a general introduction to Photojournalism and its dynamics, terminology and history (Unit 1), the course will then focus on fundamental elements of photojournalism and documentary photography such as the search for the story (Unit 2), the relationship to be established with the subject (Unit 3), the complex task of building a captivating story (Unit 4) and the contamination and integration of other media within the photojournalistic practice (Unit 5).

We will then face the multifarious caveats of the editing phase (Unit 6) and finally, for those interesting in pursuing a career in the field, a whole unit will be devoted to photojournalism and documentary photography as a possible professional path within the current media industry (Unit 7).

During the whole length of the course each participant will be encouraged to develop her/his own photojournalistic idea that will gradually take the form of a proper photo documentary project.
