A Journey Through Our Photography Studio

The students embarked on an immersive tour of our photography studio, which was designed to inspire creativity and foster learning. During their exploration, they gained crucial insights into the various pieces of studio equipment and how each contributes to producing stunning visual content. Understanding the functionality and application of different tools is essential for aspiring photographers, and we were thrilled to share our expertise.

Exploring Advanced Printing Techniques

Following the studio tour, the students ventured into our state-of-the-art printing facility. Here, they learned about fine art printing on museum-grade papers such as Hahnemühle and Canson. Such high-quality materials are vital to ensuring that prints not only look aesthetically pleasing but also stand the test of time. This segment of the visit equipped the students with the necessary skills to appreciate the intricate details involved in producing professional-grade prints.

Unearthing the History of Photography

Another highlight of their visit was the opportunity to explore our collection of vintage cameras, films, and tools dating back to 1942. This fascinating journey into the past allowed the students to understand the evolution of photography and printing over the decades. As they marveled at the collection, the excitement was palpable; they interacted with cameras that are still in working condition and discovered how various advancements have changed the landscape of photography.

The Excitement of Discovery

Through this enriching experience, the students from BNU’s School of Visual Art & Design not only gained practical skills but also a deeper appreciation for the history and artistry behind photography. The interactive nature of the tour, led by Amna Yaseen, served as an inspiration for these budding artists and photographers. We are hopeful that this experience will encourage them to pursue their passion and creativity with renewed vigor.
