PUNE: Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) will conduct a foundation course in still photography in the campus from April 9 to 28. The last date to apply for the same is April 2.
Conducted under FTII’s Film Education Outreach Initiative SKIFT (Skilling India in Film and Television), the 20-day course in still photography will introduce the participants to a DSLR camera, three pillars of photography, basic techniques in photography and camera handling.
“Despite all the charm of the video and film, still photography will never go out of fashion. The visual sense of photography is often the forerunner of digital cinematography,” said Bhupendra Kainthola, Director, FTII while announcing the course.
The course will also offer insights to learners in studio portraits, interior photography, street candid photography and fashion photography.
