The Bayimba Photography Summer School will be held from 16th July till 13th August, 2012 in Kampala Uganda and will be able to accept up to 50 participants. The Photographer will have the opportunity to explore photographic techniques in one of following five areas of their choice:



1) Photojournalism: aims at reporting the actual situation for media. This can be traditional media such as magazines and newspapers, but will be more and more online media and rich media format photo presentations,

2) Documentary Photography: aims at telling background stories. Here the engagement of the photographer with his subject, doing research into the subject and developing a visual strategy to tell the story is important aspects that will be dealt with.

3) Fashion / Glamour/Advertisement photography

Fashion and advertisement photography will aim at creating dreams, selling ideals and products through photographs.

4) Event photography Events Photography aims at documenting events created for an audience or a function. How do you deal with and prepare for a given, often complex light situation, how do you create your own language in making images of concerts and other stage performances as well as functions.

5) Nature/ wildlife photography. Nature/wildlife photography will deal with imaging one of Uganda's big features, its flora and fauna. Here technique and equipment, and dealing with this in the right way are important aspects.



During the first week, the photographers will receive technical instructions on the principles of p­­­­­hotography, Digital photography and software, photography appreciation and critic and photo editing. In the second week they will focus on their area of their choice. During the third week, participants will carry out field work. During the last week of the Summer School, participants will prepare and curate their work for their own photo exhibition.

It has been organised on an annual basis whil... Festivals have been preceded by a series of workshops for artists, aimed at stimulating creativity and artistic collaborations. In 2009, the Foundation also initiated a successful series of debates about the role of culture and arts
in society and in 2010 the first Annual Conference on Arts and Culture was held. In 2011, the Foundation started with providing training for arts and cultural managers.

The activities of the Foundation have had a profound effect on the state of arts and culture in Uganda and have catalyzed important changes for individual artists and actors in the sector. However, to leave a lasting mark on the sector and society at large, the Foundation is resolved to further invest in its
development in conjunction with its ever growing international, regional and national network of partners and supporters.
