St.
Petersburg school of black-and-white photography keeps up the traditions
from generation to generation. With the objective of transmitting
photographic traditions in Autumn, 2004 the State Centre of photography
cooperated with Klip school and studio to develop a new educational
project named “Petersburg photo workshops”. The project includes a
number of parts: photo workshop teaching theory of black-and-white
photography and training, programs of master-classes with key photo
artists of our city, lectures on photographic art for all-comers.
Training schedule has two core lines: course of analogue black-and-white

The
exhibition of works made by the students of “Petersburg photo
workshops” is a creative report for the whole training period. The
exhibition called “Shtudia” is scheduled to take place annually. Its
current name “Free theme” resulted from a variety of areas and themes,
different focus of seeing and creating works. Artists offer their most
interesting works. Some of them highlight unique skills of photographers
at this early stage. Students tended to use various printing and
photography techniques such as wet printing, film duplicating, multiple
toning, solarization, photography with multi optical exposure, works in
light and dark colorings.
The exhibition shows the works of
those photographers who proved themselves as photo artists. They have
already organized a number of personal exhibitions and participated in
Russian and international exhibitions more than once. And also, there
are works of beginners in photography. Although the school is aimed at
classic black-and-white photography the exhibition presents color works.
The school introduces general ideas of color photography. This line
will get a shot in the arm in the workshops of famous artists of our
city: Dmitry Konradt, Oleg Kaplan, Alexandr Petrosian.

St. Petersburg school of black-and-white photography keeps up the
traditions from generation to generation. State Centre of Photography
has been working over the non-profit educational project “Baltiiskaya

are among the students involved in the project. Master classes conducted
by Russian and foreign artists are free for them. As well, the students
take part in the exhibition projects of the Center. Prospective
students take a competitive entrance examination once two years.
With the objective to stimulate teaching photography techniques in the
framework of the project “Baltiiskaya photo school” a new educational

photography (various levels), course of digital photography. The Photo
School is equipped with an excellent lab for practical exercises when

exclusive part of the project “Petersburg photo schools”. Master-classes
