The course aims to provide the theoretical and historical knowledge of photography in its fundamental stages, from its nineteenth-century origins to its role in the history of contemporary culture. Some themes of the critical theoretical debate on photography will be introduced, and an analysis will be made on the changes that have occurred in the last decade, especially as a result of social networks.
Much attention will also be paid to the aspects of photography as a tool for documentation and recording of visible reality, especially in its relationship
with cultural heritage and art.
During the lessons, technical information will also be provided, such as the composition of the frame, natural and artificial lighting, color rendering, etc.
