Understanding and mastering light as a central design tool is the basic theme of the seminar. This applies to

both the technical and content-related aspects of lighting. With practical exercises, the students' basic

photographic knowledge will be expanded and basic techniques, such as light measurement, the choice of

light sources and light shapers, are theoretically and practically deepened.

The aim of the course is the independent planning and design of lighting situations in the studio and on

location with daylight, continuous light and professional flash systems, but also with inexpensive aids such

as rescue foils, Styros or construction spotlights.

Basic photographic knowledge of the relationship between time - aperture - ISO required.

Teaching language is german.

Active participation and ongoing review of learning progress - grading is therefore only possible if 4/5 of the dates are attended. There is ongoing evaluation of comprehension and knowledge during class.

The following order of precedence always applies to the allocation of numerically limited course places:

1. regular students of applied sciences who require a "Pflichtfach"certificate.

2. other regular students of applied sciences

3. extraordinary students of applied sciences

4. co-enrolled students from other universities

Applications will be ranked within the categories in the order in which they are received.
