What will you learn?

The contents of the Photojournalism course are intended to understand and analyze the most relevant and distinctive aspects of the world of photojournalism, focusing very specifically on the treatment of photography in the media.

The course addresses the two main aspects of photojournalism: the first focuses on the most practical aspects of daily press photography, on images intended for newspapers and agencies, conditioned by current events, immediacy, and the capacity for synthesis. The second part focuses on social photo reportage, a more complex area in terms of narrative and aesthetics but with greater communicative freedom.
