About
This program offers a unique opportunity to advanced, intermediate, and beginning students of photography to apprentice with UT journalism professor Dennis Darling, while learning about the art, architecture, film, and history of Prague and the Czech Republic. This course consists of lectures on documentary photographic techniques and aesthetic principles as well as practical work on location. During the classroom sessions, your photographs will be analyzed and critiques will offer direct feedback on content, storytelling, creativity, and the technical aspects of your images. Although the images for class will be made digitally, you may also shoot film-based images (digital cameras will be available to students who require them). A number of field trips, guest lecturers and gallery visits are part of this program. Local program staff organize arrival pick up, orientation, housing and support students throughout the program's duration.
