Evening class with Jutta Benzenberg.

Hello friends of Projekt 5.6!

Yesterday’s evening class was a very dynamic one. From the very beginning of this course, I promised to my students that one day I was going to invite as a host trainer a great photographer who was going to share with them her knowledge and work experience. And only yesterday that was made possible.
My dear college Jutta Benzenberg took the lead of our class. She stared with a strong slide show of her photo portraits and each time she was pausing and commenting every single frame. Later on, she was introduced with the student’s work where she, in a very friendly way made her observations by commenting their works and giving advises. She was able to generate a great connection with all of the students by being so open and direct.
She answered to all of their questions and in a very original and professional way explained how a photographer should approach and interact with a model before taking his/her portrait. How deep into their skin you might want to go, how well you might want to know a person before being able to capture their portraits.
At the very end of the class, she shared with the students different photo albums of some very well known photographers who have been an inspiration for her work.
It was a wonderful class indeed, and I want to thank all of my students for their attendance and of course, a special thank you to Jutta who made it possible.
