Course Overview:

The first semester establishes the foundation for a solid professional education. Learning and understanding photography is the starting point for creative work. From capturing images to sequencing and conceptual work, the program imparts perfect know-how, eliminating uncertainties and "trial and error" approaches. It's during this period that the first part of your personal portfolio is developed.

The mandatory second semester allows for more room to explore independent photographic solutions. The content of the second semester aligns with the traditional fields of photography. Of course, the program keeps pace with ongoing developments in photographic technology. The final LIK Academy for Photography and Design examination and the professional portfolio created serve as the basis for assessing your performance and awarding the photography diploma.

Digital photography goes hand in hand with the corresponding "development" of digital files. Achieving a perfect photo involves a combination of capturing the image, performing RAW development, retouching, and ensuring correct color output. The digital photo design course covers all the essential professional processes required for high-quality photo editing. Starting with an efficient workflow using professional tools like ADOBE Bridge, Lightroom, RAW converter, and Photoshop, you will learn all the secrets of rapid and truly high-quality image enhancement.

In the second semester, the curriculum delves into specialised areas such as beauty retouching, compositing, and the design of title covers.
