This Monday, April 14, the Free Photography Workshop “Capturing Moments” will begin at the Concordia Undersecretariat of Culture hall (638 Urquiza St.), an initiative open to youth and adults aged 16 and older, which seeks to provide theoretical and practical tools to start or improve in the art of photography.
The course is developed in two levels: basic, for those taking their first steps, and advanced, for participants with previous experience. Classes for the initial level will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:30 PM, while the advanced level meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the same time.
The workshop will be taught by photographer and teacher Eduardo Gabriel Aguirre, who personally approached the Undersecretariat offices to offer this valuable project on a voluntary basis.
“I want to highlight and deeply thank Prof. Eduardo Aguirre for his generosity, as he brought this proposal to us and offered it voluntarily. It is a gesture that speaks to his commitment to culture and the training of new talent,” expressed the Undersecretary of Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto.
“These types of spaces are possible thanks to the strong impetus that Mayor Francisco Azcué gives to cultural public policies, understanding that culture not only identifies us but also enhances personal and collective development,” he added.
The workshop consists of 9 two-hour sessions, with theoretical and practical classes covering everything from the history of photography, camera operation, light, and composition, to flash handling, editing, and digital post-production. In addition, work will be done with professional cameras and mobile devices, so that no one is left out for not having technical equipment.
As a closing, participants will develop a personal photographic project that will be presented in class.
Prof. Aguirre has a distinguished career in the artistic and teaching fields. Born in Concordia, he has resided for decades in the city of Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, where he has participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions and has been awarded in various national competitions. He is the author of the book “Notes from a Pandemic” and a founding member of the Photo Patagonia Festival, specializing in analog photography and alternative processes.
Those who have not yet registered can do so from Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, at the Undersecretariat of Culture offices (638 Urquiza St.). Spots are limited.
