Description
Aesthetics explores how to use colours and lighting to purposefully manage and strategically arrange that which is within the frame.
This lesson, together with composition, engage two main features that define visual storytelling, colours and the depth of field. Let’s us not forget that photography means, literally, to write with the light, and light in turn defines how we see and understand colours and their relations.
Aesthetics is one of the 5 lessons part of the MIA course. These can be engaged in any order, even independently!, yet I would advise to follow this order: first Storytelling, then Aesthetics and Composition, and, finally, Montage and Storyboarding. As mentioned, you can equally work on these 5 as self-standing lessons or complement them according to your liking.
MIA stands for the Meta-Image App, and this is the thoroughly enhanced version of the App that the Quintin Hogg Trust generously funded while I was leading the Digital and Interactive Storytelling LAB at the University of Westminster in London, UK. MIA has been translating my expertise as a professional photographer and university professor into a consequential course to introduce foundational competencies in storytelling practices including key components in visual literacy, and it continues to evolve to respond to the latest requirements of today’s digital cultures.
