International course on visual storytelling brought together students and experts

On April 23 and 29, an online course «Visual Storytelling» was held, dedicated to the art of creating photographs that convey ideas, stories and emotional impact. The event was attended by international speakers — Neil Bennett and Tim Winkler, who shared their professional experience in the field of visual communication.

During the course, participants were introduced to the key principles of photography, including working with light, composition, capturing the decisive moment, technical control and storytelling as a tool of influence. Special attention was paid to the practical aspects of creating visual content that is able to form emotions and convey meaning without words.

The classes were held in the format of online meetings with presentations and interactive discussions. Participants had the opportunity not only to listen to lectures, but also to ask questions, analyze examples and improve their own skills.

The course has become a useful platform for students interested in media, journalism, and visual content, as it has allowed them to gain up-to-date knowledge from international practitioners and deepen their understanding of the role of visual stories in the modern information space.
