INTRO TO COMPOSITION

Andrei Păcuraru (also known as PAC) is our teacher of photographic technique and composition. In this introductory workshop, Andrei presents the basics of composition in a practical way. The workshop will be structured around the idea of a composition rule, photo practice on that rule, feedback from Andrei; another element of composition, practice, feedback and so on. We room for only 3 participants.

The workshop is perfect if you feel new to photography and want to practice or if you simply want to improve the images you take. After the workshop we invite you to stay in our garden for drinkies and talks.

Andrei Păcuraru photograph points, lines, shapes and geometries; he has a special penchant for photographic technique and composition. He has been a photographer for over 15 years, lecturer and member of the National Association for Contemporary Visual Arts. Self-taught, he formed his style through commercial photography, photojournalism and conceptual photography. His works have been exhibited both in Romania and abroad. He is currently the custodian of the PAC Collection, a personal archive started in 2006 containing over 10,000 unpublished photographs. He does not necessarily like to present his photos online, so his images can be seen illustrating books, on their covers or in exhibitions. Last but not least, Andrei thinks in series and projects; he always finds the red thread, is honest and extremely engaging. Expert in photographic technique, he explains the photography process like no one else. Andrei is part of the core team in the construction of the center and you can meet him at courses and workshops as a lecturer but also at CdRF events.
