What I can teach best of all:


REPORTER’S PHOTOGPAPHY

Some thoughts about teaching photography:

I am shure, that the teaching program must be well-integrated into teaching process of the College and depends on local conditions.

When teaching, I try to use individual interest and competition as much as possible. This method was successively tested during teaching technical drawing in a secondary school.

Creative tasks stimulate students to study some other sciences, such as chemistry, physics etc. and give big satisfaction when finished.

That is why it is very important to make the student feel as a real artist.

At the same time, he must have an opprtunity to see his photos in differint medias: as a part of exposition, printed in booklet, catalogue or poster, on video, in the Internet, etc. It will give him an understanding what is Photography.

After such a cours, diligent student will be able practically use his experience in different fields of activity - advertizing, web-design, mass-medias, technical photography etc.
