SUMMER VACATION SPECIAL: WISH THIS WAS REAL

Teens Workshop: The colorful world of portrait photography

Can a portrait tell a story? What role do clothing, background and props play? Can colors express emotions? How can I use form and light to achieve a certain look? In his portraits and fashion photographs, Tyler Mitchell presents calm, positive, highly aesthetic images of his models. We visit his exhibition "Wish this was real", immerse ourselves in the themes and aesthetics of this master of beauty and elegance and let ourselves be inspired. By looking at and comparing the work of other great photographers, we will approach the core principles of staged portrait photography.

Of course, the young participants will also become active themselves, learn or deepen the technical basics of camera use and try their hand at playing with color and form. We style and design with backgrounds, clothes and props and use light, pose and expression to set the scene for each other - outdoors and in the real photo studio at C/O Berlin.
