FAQ Sorin Florea What is the Photography School? The Photography School is a project run by the Photography Resources Center. At the same time, the full course at the Photography School is one of the most complex photography learning programs currently available in Romania. What are our values? We believe in the talent of Romanian photographers and we want to contribute to the internationalization of Romanian photography. At the same time, we aim to build communities of photography enthusiasts and to be a bridge between Romanian photographers and the photography public. In photography, no subject is forbidden. We especially encourage/exhibit bold photographers, willing to explore and break patterns. Who can participate in the Photography School? Anyone with a passion for photography, whether or not they have studied photography before, whether or not they have a theoretical/practical basis. The age limit is 16 years (for taking the exam and obtaining the photography specialization certificate, a minimum age of 18 years is required). Ioana Moldovan How long does the full course at the Photography School last? In order for all students to be able to organise their schedule in advance, the programme is set and announced in advance - see more details here. https://www.cdrf.ro/event-details/scoala-de-fotografie Be aware: we only have twenty available spots and we will not allocate new ones, so that we can work seriously with each student individually. The courses are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in the evenings (theoretical part). The practical part – on weekends. In total there will be 180 hours, 60 theoretical and twice as many practical. Silviu Gheție What are the benefits? The course ends with a collective exhibition, organized by the Photography Resources Center. Students can register for the graduation exam, and those who manage to pass it will receive a graduation certificate with a photography specialization accredited by the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity, through the Commission for Authorization of Adult Professional Training Providers in the Municipality of Bucharest – the certificate is valid at European level (a minimum of high school education is required to obtain the qualification). Networking: you join an international network of photographers, and we will ensure exposure/exhibitions for the best students in the future. You will have access to the Library at the Photography Resources Center, which features numerous useful works for a future professional photographer. Who are the teachers of the Photography School? Among the best in Romania, each of them with a formidable CV and a clearly defined area of expertise: Cornel Lazia (Cornel teaches the module in which you learn how to make a portfolio), Ioana Moldovan (Ioana teaches storytelling), Cristina Irian (Cristina teaches the history of photography), Ionuț Staicu (Ionuț teaches the module on deepening photography/using light in photography), PAC (teaches the module on photographic technique), Sorin Florea (Sorin teaches the module in which you learn how to make photography a business & the module on using the concept in photography & part of the module on using light in photography), Adi Bulboacă (the module on how to build a personal style in photography). Cristian Crisbășan Can you take just one module of the full course? The full course is made up of several modules, you can choose to take just one or more modules (and if you take them all within two years, you can take the exam for accreditation). The modules are: History of Photography Photographic Technique In-depth Photography (module on the use of light in photography) Personal Style in Photography Using Concept in Photography (how to define and develop a concept in photography) Storytelling Portfolio Photography as a Business. Hajdu Tamas Can you only take specific lessons from a module? Yes. Modules, in turn, are a sum of courses, specific lessons. If you don't have time to take an entire module, you can only take a few lessons from the module. For example, in the Basics/History of Photography we learn about: Prehistory of photography, the aristocracy of photography, the democracy of photography, early digital, the main trends and movements in photography in Europe and the USA, types of photographs and their reading/construction, how you can use the history of photography in everyday practice. You can choose to take just one of these lessons. In the Photographic Technique module, you can also choose to take just one lesson, which contains 3 hours of theory and 6 hours of practice. The lessons are about: using the equipment (you need, to begin with, a digital camera with manual control with at least a 50mm or equivalent zoom lens and a laptop with processing software installed), settings, exposure, photographic effects, composition, perspectives, the photographic project and photographic genres, photographic style and post-processing. In the Photography In-depth module/How we use light in photography, you can choose to take just one lesson (or more, or take the partial course anyway), from those we offer: light propagation, the effect on the subject and modifiers, studio lighting, natural light. In the Personal Style/Aesthetics module, you can choose to take just one lesson, either about photographic trends from the last fifty years or about contemporary photography. To define a personal style, you need a teacher who can show you some directions you can go in. For us, Adi Bulboacă is that teacher. In the Concept module (using the concept in photography), you can choose to follow a single lesson from those we propose: discovering personal interests in photography, defining motivation, defining a concept and developing the concept. In the Storytelling module, you can also choose to follow one or more lessons from those proposed by professor Ioana Moldovan: similarities and differences between photography and the written medium; using narrative values in various photographic genres; how to use time as a participant/actor in the story; introductory notions of documentary photography; stories in images through documentary photography. In the Portfolio module, you can choose to follow a single lesson/several lessons from those proposed by professor Cornel Lazia: the importance of the portfolio and how to adapt it depending on the context; the portfolio – between print and online social media; preparing a portfolio review; alternative methods of incorporating the portfolio into various promotional formats; designing and building a portfolio (the stages of this process and choosing the format depending on the context, adapting the portfolio according to the content & context of the presentation). Please note: students will have final portfolio review and mentoring sessions with CDRF teachers/photographers. Adi Bulboacă Where is the School of Photography held? At the Photography Resources Center: in Bucharest, on Popa Tatu Street, number 68. Cornel Lazia

CdRF's mission is the internationalization of Romanian photography; long-tem, we want Romanian photographers and their photographs to have a greater presence, higher value and better visibility in international markets. We strongly believe that this can be achieved through education, direct support for photographers, collaboration and audience development. We are here to develop the necessary framework for photography and you, our students, clients, participants and friends, to fill this framework with your vision. After reading about us, we invite you to meet us at Popa Tatu 68. THE TEAM Sorin Florea Sorin Florea is a photographer and artist with a focus on geographical, cultural and anthropological exploration; he describes himself as a “creator of stories that need to be told”. His works, although they are approached through photography, are not limited to photography but often use video and sound. He has exhibited video and photo works at MARe, MNTRplusC in Bucharest and SR Gallery in Brussels. At CdRF you will see Sorin coordinating our gallery. sorin-florea moldovan Ioana Moldovan She photographs both from behind the front line and inside a small rural community; she is a journalist, documentary photographer and author of reports, albums and articles. If you ask her what photojournalism is she'll tell you it's all about storytelling, feelingas and empathy and about drawing attention to an issue over and over again. Her reports have been published by The New York Times, ESPN, Al Jazeera English, Huffington Post, BBC, Der Spiegel, Open Society Foundation, Libération, Deutsche Welle, LensCulture, Radio France Internationale, Slate.fr, Decât O Revistă and Dilema. She received awards such as The Bill Eppridge Memorial Award for excellence and truth in photojournalism or "Women of courage" (US Embassy, Bucharest) for outstanding activity in highlighting the truth through photojournalism. Ioana has joined the creation of CdRF since its beginnings, collaborating with the rest of the team to lay the foundations of the educational component of the center. You will meet Ioana as a lecturer at courses and workshops or at CdRF events. We also invite you to see the shop section where you can buy a limited edition print of hers. lazia-cornel Cornel Lazia He photographs people, spaces, suspended cities, studies the interaction and influences between cinematography and photography, and teaches at UNATC; he successfully balances commercial photography with artistic, personal photography. He started as a DOP for visual projects and from 1998 until now has continued as a professional photographer. His love for music led him into album photography - you've probably seen his photos if you owned any of the albums "După Blocuri" (BUG Mafia), "În haine noi" (Vank) or, more recently, "Echilibru" (Om la lună). You've also seen his photos in Elle, Cosmopolitan or Harper's Bazaar; you've probably seen them in the advertisements in the city. At the same time, Cornel was and is interested in borders and their visual dialogue, among his latest exhibitions are "Horizon Tales" (Art Yourself Gallery, 2019), "Intersections in the Creative District" (Cartierul Creativ, 2019) together with Horațiu Șovăială, "Monolith, an Expression of Viewing" (Creart Gallery, 2019) or "Contact" (Art Yourself Gallery 2018). Cornel has been with us since the Walk & Shoot days and has sincerely supported the establishment of CdRF. You will meet him as a lecturer at courses and workshops and if you want a "Lazia" at home, we invite you to browse to the shop section. Andrei Păcuraru He photographs points, lines, shapes and geometries; he has a special inclination for photographic technique and composition. He has been a photographer for over 15 years, a lecturer and a 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 that contains over 10,000 unpublished photographs. He does not necessarily like to present his photographs 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 common thread, he is honest and extremely captivating. An expert in photographic technique, he explains the process of photography like no one else. Andrei was 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. PAC Bulboaca Adrian Bulboacă He photographs artists, shows, trains, train stations and moments that evoke emotions; he is one of the most famous theater photographers in Romania. You see a Bulboacă almost every time you look at posters with theater shows. He started by photographing his fellow actors of his generation and continued until he exceeded a thousand theater, dance and performance shows photographed. For many years he has been the official photographer of several theater festivals, the TIFF festival or cultural events in Romania. Lately he has discovered his passion for running and when he is not photographing, he prepares for or participates in marathons. Adi is the kind of photographer for whom no sacrifice is too great, in the sense that, if he is in a new place, he gives up activities such as socializing or sleeping to explore with his camera in hand. He believes his role is to give back to the community and truly sees the importance of the role of the teacher, the guide, the mentor. Adi has enthusiastically joined the center and you will be able to meet him at CdRF at classes and workshops, but also at our events. We also invite you to see his photos and get a limited edition print . Ionut Staicu He photographs fashion, beauty, artists and, more recently, products; he is passionate about analog photography and a studio expert. Ionuț started in 1999 as a fashion photographer, over time collaborating with all the profile Romanian magazines and modeling agencies. In addition to fashion pictorials, he is passionate about the performance sector and has photographed entire series of artists, especially from theater and dance; he was Adi Bulboacă's mentor, still sharing the same studio. He feels at ease when he has the camera in his hand, knows how important teamwork is and is very generous with information when teaching. In recent years, he has moved to product photography and creates visual stories for clients. He likes the border between photo and video, often using elements of movement in photography. Ionuț completed the core team of the center, structuring practice sessions in the studio and preparing the room for developing analog photographs. You will meet him during the center's courses or workshops, but also at CdRF events. ionut-staicu Cristina Irian She takes photographs, but more than that, she researches and analyzes photographs; she is passionate about archival and anthropological photography, being constantly involved in interdisciplinary projects. She received her doctorate at UNARTE, in History and Theory of Art. She studied visual anthropology in Bucharest, SNSPA and Perugia, at the Universita’ degli Studi UniPg, as well as comparative local development at the Universita’ degli Studi di Trento. She founded the Omnia Photo association with Cristian Bassa and Dorin Delureanu with the aim of promoting contemporary and historical photography and developing the photography audience. Cristina always has at least one old photograph with her that she can talk about with enthusiasm for hours; she is the one who can give you a lot of details about an unknown family just by looking at a photo taken at the beginning of the last century. She successfully moves through multiple roles – from researcher, to artist or teacher. She joined us to continue promoting archival photography, to continue sharing her knowledge of photography with the public, and to support our efforts to internationalize Romanian photography. You will meet Cristina as a lecturer at the center's courses or workshops and at CdRF events. irian Alex Molovata He manages teams of photographers, organizes photography archives, curates exhibitions and photo albums, teaches photography since 1997 and is a photographer; moreover, he is a passionate and experienced photo editor. For Alex, photography is present in every minute of his life and photographs are his community. He started as a photojournalist at Jurnalul Național and developed there until 2007 as manager of the digital team. He continued as a digital manager at Intact and in recent years specialized in the organization of photo archives and the use of DAM/MAM technologies. In CdRF, he will coordinate all the visual content, manage everything that means photography and promote the center's products. You will meet Alex at the center and if you need expertise in organizing workflow and archives, take a look at center services to benefit from his advice and help. Andreea Irina Leu CEO and co-founder She has been photographing since she was 11 but she is not a photographer; she is just hopelessly in love with photography. For her, photography means memories and history, it means moments captured forever. The day job, for the last 20 years is a very technical one that combines consulting on non-reimbursable funds with research and management. She also likes to create stories (through writing or photos, doesn't matter). CdRF is a natural continuation of the Walk&Shoot photography workshops, which encompases all her professional experience accumulated over time . You can meet Andreea at the center, at CdRF events or as a stylist at makeup and hairstyle workshops (she has also done this for the past 20 years). CONTRIBUTORS tamas-crisbasan Cristian Crisbășan https://www.facebook.com/cristian.crisbasan Cristian Crisbășan is not the photographer who looks for "beautiful things". Often looking to step out of his comfort zone, his portraits and nudes are honest and provocative. "The New Erotic Photography" and "The Big Book of Pussy" (published by TASCHEN) are just two art albums in which his photographs have been published. We invite you to take one limited edition print signed by him. Hajdu Tamás https://hajdutamas.blogspot.com Hajdu Tamás is a veterinarian and photographer in Baia Mare, Romania. His photography is ironic and playful, but at the same time dramatic. Over time he had several exhibitions, won a series of photo contests and his photos were included in Romanian and international photo magazines. In the past we did a photo workshop together and we will repeat the experience as soon as possible. Until then we invite you to view his photos and choose one limited edition print signed by him. Kodex http://kodex.ro We consider them the best for printing and photo framing. All prints in our store are made at them, all prints for CdRF exhibitions are made at them. We recommend them with confidence. Opera Studio http://operastudio.ro Among the most luminous and welcoming photography studios we've entered. It is shared by Adrian Bulboacă and Ionuț Staicu, and it is neighbouring with unteatru (one of the main independent theaters in Romania). At Opera Studio we will host some of our meetings and the practical parts of courses or workshops that require a well-equipped, equipped and spacious studio.

BECOMING SILVIU GHEȚIE English Interview with Silviu Gheție When did you start taking pictures? I have been doing it for a very long time. I was about 20 years old, I started in ‘87. But the beginning was much more difficult because you didn't have access to materials, to information. I was self-taught, I worked in cellarss and I was taught how to enlarge by a guy who didn’ t really know how to do it either. But it was very exciting that I could express myself through photography. Me who was very confused and technical - I couldn't have painted, for example, I wouldn't have had the patience. You know that moment when you're in the present for a second or two and you snap the picture? That's how much I resisted staying in the present. One second - two. I was very agitated. I was looking in the mirror and I saw the face of a bunny. I couldn't take myself seriously. How did you go from miner to photographer? I was a student of mining sub-engineers and I worked half-time in the mine as a miner's helper, cleaning, supplying... And in the afternoons I went to classes. I was employed half-time, so I only worked 2 weeks a month. And one evening I was late for classes, I was walking in the halls of the faculty and I see an open door - I had already started taking pictures; I thought I was pretty good. It was after the revolution. And I saw an open door where a toilet was supposed to be, but it was disused and usually the door was always closed. The door is open, I see a photo lab, an old man. I say: Hello! Hello! Is this a photo lab? I take pictures too. Yes, look, I'm retiring now. And who comes in your place? I do not know. And how should I try? Well, ask the staff. I was completely innocent and had no idea how these things worked. I went to those ladies, as he told me. I asked around and entered the competition alone and ended up the university photographer. That's how I first became a photographer. In the meantime, I was collaborating with the first newspaper in Baia Mare and with all that I was super bored. I had too much time. I would arrive at 10 and leave at 12 because I was bored - that's a job where you had to stay. And I stayed there until I got a job at the second newspaper. That's how I became a photographer. What is the story of the picture of the man with the newspaper? He was the head of the communist party. The communist party was re-established for a short time after the revolution and his name was Ion Tution. He came to the newsroom - I don't know much about him. After he talked to the others, I called him there in a room, let me take your picture. He was a character, I saw him, with that crutch... And I made two pictures of Ion Tution like this, zac - zac. I have another one like that, Olteanu, quite a strange character from that period. He appears in the picture with the trombone and the rally behind. I photographed him because he was the head of the Romanian Communist Party in Baia Mare after the revolution and his name was Ion Tution. And he had a crutch like a saint. (editor’s note) The interview begins as an interview, but continues as a series of memories, as a discussion between two friends. Here you are looking at memory fragments; just as the memories do not respect a structural rigor, so this exhibition does not respect a rigor of exhibitions either. It is like a continuous flow produced by the hippocampus, neocortex and amygdala, rendered to you in a series of images and words. the 90s The picture of the cow, the woman and the tower is a classic. I was returning from a work trip with my colleagues from the newspaper and I asked them to make a pitstop because I had started a series with the tower - I thought since it is among the tallest towers in Europe it must be like the Eiffel Tower. And how many pictures are there of the Eiffel Tower, why wouldn't the Baia Mare Tower be my Eiffel. I started a life time project - I still have many pictures of the tower - I liked this image a lot because the background was good, everything was perfect. I've got the tower and our football stadium with the tower behind it and then just the empty stadium with one person sitting there - that's what I was doing at the time. Here I was influenced at that time by... you know these art photographers from the communist era who were taking these beautiful pictures with a guy in a suit playing the violin, with instruments that are photogenic, brass instruments set in the park with fog, a brass instrument or a violin on a bench, this style of pictures. And, no, most of them now seem like sentimentalities to me. The trombone, therefore, is a cultural quote from the repertoire of great art photographers – the trombone against the rally background seemed very appropriate to me. That was the idea. The union no longer exists, I don't know how many people from that picture no longer exist. This Phoenix is related to the tower because it is the union of the tower - you can put it next to the picture of the cow and the tower and they are related - with the history of the city. This is from my press days, that’s why I was at the rally. It was a beer drinking contest organized by local television. And that's pretty much the story. It's Bergenbier. They would drink, then go to the toilet, then drink again, until the first throw up. I went to the contest for the newspaper, but I took pictures for myself. I also gave them to the newspaper, but I always did them for myself. I didn't really care for the paper. I considered myself good enough not to care too much, and they appreciated me and left me alone. I liked my colleagues from the former newspaper - "Pentru Socialism" which became "Graiul Maramuresului" - they were fair play in a way, compared to what is now in the press. They really had respect, they had some principles. the 2000s In the 2000s I took a lot of wedding pictures. I did an exhibition with weddings in Bulgaria. At that time, in Baia Mare, wedding photos were outdated from a technical and conceptual point of view. They didn't know tricks, they didn't know how to put blur in images. Commercial wedding photography was just at the beginning and I already had a trained hand and quite capable devices. Back then I was one of the only ones with a real telephoto lens, the only one with good lenses. That's why they invited me to weddings. At first they called me to reformed weddings, also because they didn't have a community member who knew how to take good photos. And now I still go but only those who know what they want are calling me. Who wants someone discreet and to take atmospheric pictures for them. That's the thing about weddings. The last one was last year. Also a reformed wedding of a friend of mine. The Costinești wedding has a great story. I was a set photographer for Radu Munteanu's film. The movie was shot by the sea and I was on a terrace with the boys. It was the off-season, there was no one in Costinești. And it was the only restaurant open. Well, we were sitting there on the terrace bored, having the day off, semi-drunk, with the second director when I see this bride come into the hall and start dancing. We were outside. They were practicing for the waltz. I'm not a paparazzi, but encouraged by my colleagues, I went in and took their pictures. They didn't say anything. After which I continued to photograph during the wedding. I wasn't hired to take pictures; I sneaked in and took pictures. That was all. They didn't have anyone with pictures or video but they didn't comment that I did them either. It was great that evening. Everything was so unreal, like in a movie. Since about 2009 I have worked less and less at the newspaper. Newspapers had begun to disappear. I went to Bucharest where I did set photography; I also did events. after 2010 I was in Sighet, at the folklore festival, and I saw this lady; I still have a photo or two of her. You know I follow characters – first I catalogue them and then I follow them. I have them all in my head and make combinations with them. And this lady was super cool with the cigarette and that death metaphor in the back. I also used this picture for the Memento Mori project. Somehow the shadow of smoking hovered over her. This is from a wedding, flower power. I really like the composition because it's Bruegel style. It gives me a light, floating state... I would like to do more in this style. You see, it has a lot of characters, everything is as it should be. I like the one with many people because it's more complex in expressions. It was a sheep fair, with political guests, the locals were a bit drowsy from the heat, the picture is from the end of the day. Now I'm trying to take photos like these. The more experience you have, the more you understand; and now I understand more than when I started photography. And it's normal for the themes I tackle to change, to become more complicated. People think I was better at the beginning, I don't think so. I'm not the same person anymore and the world has changed a lot since then. I have photos taken a long time ago that I still like very much. I don't have a creative crisis. Now I can take pictures of the same intensity in two days that I used to take in 3 years. I'm not looking for themes; I just open my eyes to what is offered to me. Now I'm much faster – in the past I couldn't take pictures of people without them realising they are being photographed and come out naturally. It was something impossible for me. Now I'm on another level - from my point of view, which is also relative. I don't even try to beautify them too much anymore because I realized that it's not that important. Anyone can beautify, it's much more important that real moment that you capture, without showing yourself: look what a beautiful picture I took. That's kind of the point. I try not to appear in the picture myself. I don't want to shock with angles, lenses, colors, stuff like that. I'm not interested in that. now
