Jaunums – radošās meistarklases ar Viku Ekstu un Reini Hofmani
Reinis Hofmanis
Covid-19 pandēmija šopavasar ir izraisījusi straujas un negaidītas pārmaiņas visās dzīves jomās, arī fotogrāfu darbā un ikdienā. Šajā unikālajā laikā ISSP aicina darboties kopā ar atpazīstamiem jaunās paaudzes Latvijas fotogrāfiem Viku Ekstu un Reini Hofmani, lai kopīgi atspoguļotu šībrīža ārkārtas situācijas realitāti, vienlaikus apgūstot un pilnveidojot autorfotogrāfijas sērijas veidošanas pamatprincipus.
Sešas nedēļas garās meistarklases ir domātas ikvienam ar vismaz nelielām priekšzināšanām fotogrāfijā, kas vēlas radoši izpausties un kopā ar domubiedriem reflektēt par krīzes izraisītajām pārmaiņām. Programmas gaitā caur lekcijām, radošiem uzdevumiem, diskusijām un individuālām tikšanās reizēm ar mentoriem, dalībnieki pilnveidos savu vizuālo valodu, attīstot nelielu autorsēriju no idejas līdz realizācijai. Rezultātā radītie fotoprojekti tiks publiski prezentēti tiešsaistes vidē, veidojot daudzšķautņainu mūsdienu krīzes arhīvu.
Katrai meistarklasei ir savs tematiskais un konceptuālais fokuss. Mākslinieces Vikas Ekstas radošās meistarklases “Krīzes istaba” mērķis ir radīt telpu konsekventai pašrefleksijai, piefiksējot un fotogrāfijā apspēlējot personīgās sajūtas, ko katrā no mums raisa jaunie apstākļi. Savukārt fotogrāfa Reiņa Hofmaņa vadītajā meistarklasē “Pārmaiņu ainava” dalībnieki fokusēsies uz pārmainām apkārtējā vidē un publiskajā telpā.
Abas meistarklases norisināsies tiešsaistē sešu nedēļu garumā no 11. un 13. maija. Pieteikties aicināti gan pieredzējuši fotogrāfi, gan fotogrāfijas entuziasti ar tehniskām pamatiemaņām. Lai piedalītos meistarklasēs, ir nepieciešams savs fotoaparāts vai viedtālrunis ar kameru, kā arī piekļuve internetam.

One small note! - our newly introduced on-line Application form still refuses to make friends with Safari browser, so problems with uploading photos there.
