lt is with great pleasure that we are presenting a selection of works
by students of the Bachelor's degree courses in Photography and Graphic
Design, curated by photographer Peter Puklus for Mode Suisse Edition
15. The workshop initiated by Noir Associates and carried out in
November 2018, aim to produce the current Mode Suisse campaign through a interdisciplinary business-oriented youth promotion collaboration.
The outcome of this workshop was so convincing that the means of
communication for both Mode Suisse editions in 2019 will be implemented
in cooperation with the ECAL students, beginning with work from Raphaèle
Rey, Hugo Plagnard and Théo Barraud.
The beginning of this
fledgling collaboration is marked by the students' smart approach to
meeting the needs of MADE VISIBLE, whose partnership with Mode Suisse is
a way of making creativity visible in unexpected ways. Work has already
started on the collaboration highlights to be shown at the end of
summer 2019, at Mode Suisse Edition 16.
Main partners:
Engagement Migros, The Zurich Silk Association ZSIG, the Hulda and
Gustav Zumsteg Foundation and The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia

Documentary, the power of make-believe Based on projects developed around a common theme, the students develop a personal, in-depth project around the theme of pretense. They build a project that plays with the limits of veracity in photography, using it as an artifice of deception.

Off-camera By exploring what lies outside the frame, students develop a sensitive and reflective approach to audiovisual creation. Throughout the semester, students are encouraged to reflect on the political and formal issues surrounding the moving image, as well as the relationship between the visible and the invisible.

Unseen This course introduces students to the creation of a seven-image series built around the theme Unseen. They will learn to combine set design, characters, and lighting to produce strong, coherent staged images. Through a practical and technical approach, the course develops their ability to conceive and manage a complete photographic project, direct models, work with natural and artificial light, and collaborate under conditions similar to professional editorial or commercial shoots. Students will refine their photographic vision while preparing for the creative and technical demands of the industry.

What is good portrait? What technique do you choose? What kind of light do you use? Daylight or flash? What location or backdrop do you choose for? How do you choose your subject? How do you approach someone you don’t know? In this workshop, the students have explored what makes a good portrait and which tools you can use to create one.
BA PHOTOGRAPHY
with Laurence Bonvin
Take risks, experiment, and try out new approaches or techniques in relation to a current or past project, or their future graduation project. Encourage them to take a project or idea further by experimenting with methodology, technique, and production methods, rather than relying on familiar processes, solutions, know-how, or tried-and-true formulas.
