Blurred - A Plea for the Blurry Image: Lecture with Pia Parolin (DE)

Not only a sharp photo is a good photo – Leica Akademie instructor Pia Parolin will prove this to you on Friday, November 22, at 7 PM in her lecture “Blurred! A Plea for the Blurred Image” at the Leica Fotostudio.

In a world often dominated by razor-sharp images, the photographer and journalist offers a unique perspective on the beauty of blur. Her inspiring lecture not only highlights the technical aspects of photography but also creates an emotional connection to this fascinating topic.

Since receiving her first camera from her father at the age of nine, Pia Parolin has been captivated by photography. Her father not only taught her the techniques and joy of photography but also the special way of looking through the viewfinder.

After years of landscape and macro photography, Parolin began exploring street and conceptual photography in late 2016. Today, she considers herself a social documentary photographer who values minimal post-processing and composes her photos directly in the camera, often using a Leica Q2.

With her years of experience and artistic perspective, Parolin offers fascinating insights into how blur can be used as a means of expression to tell stories and create a special atmosphere.

The lecture on Friday, November 22, will take place at 7 PM in the unique atmosphere of the Leica Fotostudio. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Admission is 10 euros. This lecture will be held in German.

Born in 1965 and raised in Milan, Pia Parolin holds both Italian and German citizenship. As a tropical ecologist with a PhD in ecology, she has spent many years of her life in the Amazon rainforest. Her professional journey has taken her through countries such as Italy, Germany, Venezuela, Brazil, South Africa, and finally France, all of which she considers her home.

With her expertise as a PhD biologist and wetland ecologist, Pia Parolin is dedicated to the ability of photography to convey emotions and thus draw attention to specific issues and grievances. Her artistic vision and distinctive style have earned her numerous awards, and her works have been exhibited internationally in renowned exhibitions.

Pia Parolin is not only known as a talented artist but also for encouraging her students to explore the creative potentials of photography and to forge new paths in visual art.
