Duration: 2 months | Start date: December 3
How do I sign up?
This course is part of the second block of the Diploma in Experimental Photography, a creative journey designed to develop your style and take your images to the next level. Here, we explore the different approaches to experimental photography in depth. The most rewarding aspect is experiencing it as part of the full Diploma, connecting lessons learned, building experiences, and growing step by step. However, if you only want to focus on this specialization right now, you can also enroll separately for €150.
Intervene to imagine: create, break, transform
In this course, we are going to learn different photographic intervention techniques based on the handmade spirit. From camera and film modification to printed images, we will enjoy creating new images or modifying the ones we already have. Carrying the Do It Yourself philosophy and recycling as our lema, we will give a second life to everyday objects, such as binder dividers, cardboard cutouts or a toothbrush to turn them into filters, masks and tools to intervene cameras, photographic film and printed images. Do you want to create starscapes with an internal mask? Do you want to fill your photos with fluttering butterflies with the creative bokeh technique? Do you want to make the photos you took at the rock concert even heavier by scratching off the negatives or transport yourself Upside Down by exposing both sides of the film? You will learn that and much more in this course. In addition, we will talk about the creative process and the importance of linking techniques and messages to create powerful and organic images.
