The opening of the “Debut F/G/2015” course exhibition

It is a good thing that in the autumn of this year, the “Euro Foto Art” Association, along with the “Nufărul” Photo Club, have organized two photography courses. The digital course (E series 2015), at which 13 students have enrolled, was led by Claudiu Szabó EFIAP, vice-president of the “Nufărul” Photo Club from Oradea. The photography techniques and art course (F series), to which 7 students have enrolled, was led by Ștefan Tóth AFIAP, the president of the Oradea-based photo club and international Association. Due to the great interest shown by the 20 students (among which 2 participated free of charges, since they represented social cases), the atmosphere of the courses were special. At the digital course, basic notions relating to using the functions of digital cameras and various editing techniques were taught. Also, visual esthetics and composition notions were shown. The 13 students from the E series have taken part in an “artistic walk” to the medieval fortress in Oradea and they also had the chance to take photos in the studio of the photo club. The 7 students from the F series have learned about appreciation criteria for art photography, the history of photography and of the analogue and digital cameras. With great interest, the presentation of various genres of photography was followed by the students. The themes relating to negative and positive techniques, black-white and color, but also slides, were all followed with great interest. An event waited by all was the “photo-walk” in the center of the town, where the students found many interesting and motivating subjects. A special interest was shown by the students when it came to taking portrait pictures, in the studio of the photo club, where the subjects were their own colleagues. The closing festivity of the two courses took place on the 11^th of November 2015, at 18:00, in the “Euro Foto Art” Gallery. During the exhibition organized for this occasion, under the patronage of the Bihor County Council, the professors presented their students with diplomas, after which the exhibition was officially opened. It bears the name of “Debut E-F 2015” and it is made up of 105 photographs made by the students of the E series (Bodnar Alexandru-Leontin, Duca Simina, Incze Sándor Csaba, Kádas Andrea-Mariana, Lévai Dávid, Lucaciu Răzvan, Nilghes Bianca, Maier Nicolae, Marton Monica-Gaberiela, Sebestian Andreea Emilia, Şimon Simona, Varadi Liviu şi Văşcan Tudor-Ştefan) and the F series (Filip Alina, Lazăr Laurenţiu Ioan, Popa Adriana, Lăzău Sara Maria, Lele Carmen Letiţia, Szabó Piroska şi Szamos Mariann).
