As part of the diploma, a journey from Goričko to Piran was designed, along with the creation of a photobook as an additional component, featuring photographs taken during this trip. The purpose of the diploma is to explore and present a journey through Slovenia, following a route from Goričko in the northeastern part of the country to Piran in the southwest, using photography as the primary tool for documenting this journey.
The photo-journey aims to capture the geographical, cultural and architectural differences that emerge along and on this route, showing the richness of Slovenia’s natural and cultural heritage. The photographs will serve as a tool for a critical and aesthetic interpretation of the Slovenian landscape and its relationship with history, people, and the environment.
The goal of the work is to use this collection of photographs to present a song (a work by poet Vlado Kreslin) in a more entertaining and engaging way, to present the journey differently than just through the song, and to highlight the advantages and considerations that such a project entails.
The diploma consists of two main parts. The first part focuses more on the theoretical aspects of digital photography, the history of travel photography and its notable figures, and the factors that can influence capturing photographs when shooting outside a controlled environment.
The second part concentrates on the equipment used during the journey (Nikon D7100, iPhone 11) and the software used for editing images and creating the photobook (Adobe Lightroom, Adobe InDesign).
