The purpose of the diploma thesis is to investigate the positive effects of therapeutic photography on individuals who experience depression, grief and similar emotional challenges. The goal is to create a conceptual photo series with black and white photos in the form of a photo book, which is based on memories of our deceased friend and the experience of the time during our grieving.
The theoretical part describes therapeutic photography and therapeutic photography as help through the grieving process. The concept of nostalgia is introduced, which is strongly related to our conceptual photography series. The concepts of black and white photographs, photographic series and conceptual photographs are also described.
In the experimental part is presented the equipment we used for photographing, and described is the photography process from start to end. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic program is presented in more detail, with which we edited photos and converted them to black and white. This is followed by a presentation of the process of creating a photo book and an overview of the created photos.
