Photo Studio
currently at the Spektral
Photo: next course November 2nd at 5.30PM
Creative Management: Martina Reithofer
Organization and Creativity: Renate Buchgraber
The photo studio serves to connect photographers with very different approaches to photography and different working practises. You can present your ideas and thoughts considering photograph works, there will be space for feedback and discussions as well as we are going to do photo excursions and will talk about different focuses, such as manual photography, picture editing, black/white pictures,…
We are going to focus on a particular topic for some time and you can work on your photographs in interaction with the other participants. Our aim is to organize an exhibition to present our works in a larger scope and make them available for the public. We are planning to visit exhibitions together, to participate in photographic competitions or invite photographers to benefit from their experience.

photography is like speaking without thinking… a language to provoke thoughts… a style of writing… to free yourself… a lifestyle… if you recognize yourself in this and if you like to express yourself in pictures, whether you are an expert, young artist or a complete layperson, come and join us to cooperate in elaborating topics and participating in exhibitions
Doing a shooting is the best way to shoot at all – so let’s do it together!
Retrospect on the Photo Studio (February – June 2010)
You are going to meet Stefanie Grebien, Martina Reithofer and Birgit Hofstadler at the photo studio. They will guide you between February and June from your first ideas to the exhibition taking place in June (in the Kulturkompetenz-Zentrum Annenstraße). We are not only concentrating on the work in the photo studio but we will offer as much scope as possible to help you develop your ideas and perspectives and to let you implement them.
