Mystery in Image: Black-and-white Photography

Pera Adult

  • August 19, 2023 / 14:00

We are inspired by the practice of Isabel Muñoz, who uses black-and-white photography both in her past projects and in most of her works exhibited in the museum. Participants learn the subtleties of black-and-white photography, which opens up space for abstraction, mystery and imagination, in the workshop led by photographer Orçun Karamustafa. the workshop focuses on the origin and present of black-and-white photography, and its emotional and aesthetic effects. Participants learn about composition, lighting, exposure and white balance in photography. Upon completion, they possess the knowledge and skills necessary to capture their own black-and-white photographs.

Note: You can attend the workshop with your professional camera or a smartphone with a camera.

Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 180 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
