I am IA Manté , a nurse by profession and an emotional photographer with a Master's Degree in Artistic Photography and Visual Narrative endorsed by the International University of La Rioja.
My work stems from a compelling need to express emotions that often find no words, exploring the most intimate and hidden corners of the soul. My work is primarily based on self-portraiture and studio portraiture, utilizing digital manipulation in post-production.
Essentially, I use imagery as a language to confess what happens inside people and always look for a spark of hope.
My experience with the Diploma in Experimental Photography at Agora This course is proving to be a revelatory turning point in my creative process. Although my career began in digital photography, this course has invited me to immerse myself in the power of experimentation, learning to 'play' and manipulate the image in a liberating way.
The techniques I acquire are not an end in themselves, but valuable tools that allow me to go beyond the surface to explore emotions and the inner world, both mine and that of my models, thus enriching my visual narrative and my search for emotional truth.
