Cursusreeks: Focus op… (deel 1)

Please Note: This class is taught in English.

Urban landscape photography is not just about capturing buildings or street, it’s about observing how light, time, and human presence shape our surroundings. It includes both the city’s structures and the quiet details: shadows, textures, gestures, and the unnoticed
corners where beauty hides.

Through composition, timing, and a shift in perspective, you can turn the ordinary into a story. By returning to the same place at different times of day, you’ll discover how light transforms mood, how stillness, movement, and silence leave traces.

Starting from a group idea of places, from the objectively beautiful to the very inhospitable, we will learn how to represent them in the way you image seeing it.

This practice is about finding calm and poetry in what’s often overlooked. It invites you to mix your vision with the city’s forms, to observe and see with intention.

Look to photographers who use the urban landscape to tell stories, who turn space into emotion, and structure into metaphor. Their work offers inspiration and a reminder: the city is not just something we move through, but something we can listen to.

This is your toolbox:

• A new way of looking.
• A new way of feeling space.
• A new way of capturing the character of the city, as only you see it.
