Photography of Modern Performing Arts: LARP
Šolcová, Tereza ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
The objective of this bachelor thesis is to create a photo essay on the subject of modern performative art called larp. The word larp itself was formed by combining words live, action, role and playing and it is an alternative to theater and film where the actors play roles only for themselves, not for the audience. The practical part of this thesis documents the preparation, organization and the course of larp events. The theoretical part of the work briefly introduces the genre of photography of performative art, especially theater and film photography. Furthermore, this work compares these genres with the photographed theme and describes their common and different elements. This thesis also briefly deals with the history of larp as a socio-artistic phenomenon of the 21st century.

The Aesthetic of the Crime Scene Photography: The Case of Arthur “Weegee” Fellig
Sharova, Taisiia ; ŠIMŮNEK, Michal (advisor) ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (referee)
The forensic photography has a great practical significance as it serves as one of the main means of capturing theinitial appearance of the crime scene and physical evidence of various objects that have evidentiary value in criminal cases. Photography as a means of permanent, authentic, accurate and objective record of the reality thus very often plays pivotal role during criminal investigations and court proceedings. For these purposes, crime scene photography has to follow particular set of conventionalised rules, techniques and methods. The present thesis aims to describe the crime scene visual rhetoric and explain how the crime scene photography aesthetic has been co-opted by photojournalism and art. The argumentation of the thesis is based mainly on the analysis of the 1930s and 1940s photographs taken by tabloid-news photographer Arthur “Weegee” Felling.

Methods of Revealing Digital Manipulation in the Context of CR
Janeček, Richard ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (referee)
This paper focuses on post-production techniques in journalistic photography and forensic methods, which enable to uncover them. Through interviews with experts, I seek to identify the meaning of the term “authentic” in the digital age and the way by which media, photographic competitions judges as well as forensic experts verify the authenticity of digital photos. As a precursor to editing of photos in the digital age, I present examples from the past. Next, moving to the digital age, I categorize the most common kinds of photography manipulations in news, photographic competitions and science and present examples.

Contemporary art after Late Photography.
Czanderle, Michal ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
In my work, I would like to close the term "Late photography". Personally, I believe that since the seventies we in the works of many artists find similar documentary strategies that relate to the concept of "Late photography". Currently, there is a certain exhaustion of this concept. For these reasons, I would like to focus on finding artists who suggest a new direction in photography while benefiting from a "photojournalist".

How War Photography Can Influence Public Opinion.
Sommersová, Barbora ; Horný, Stanislav (advisor) ; Souralová, Veronika (referee)
Because the reality of war is so far from our own, images captured from the field become the only visuals shaping our understanding of the course of events. This gives war photography a unique power that can be used to influence masses. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the ways in which such photographs can be used to shape public opinion. It offers a theoretical understanding of the influences that are involved in forming the final effect a photograph has on its viewer. Then it specifies how these influences have been used by examining the visual representation of two wars: the War in Vietnam and the Spanish Civil War. My findings will be supported by my own experience of documenting the refugee crisis in the Balkans.
