Course Objective

Today, UAV (drone) technology is a common imaging tool with theoretical and creative possibilities.
It is used in many fields, including architectural photography, special day photography, landscape or
contemporary art reflections in photographic art. In particular, the conceptual perspective of the
point of view and the historical process of aerial vision offer the opportunity to examine today's
drone vision with the most accurate approach. The aim of the course is to inform the students about
the theoretical and basic practice in drone photography, to learn the equivalents in artistic practice,
to recognize the technical features of drone technology and to develop projects using these tools.
