Experimental Techniques: Advanced
Duration
2 months
Starting Date
December 4th
Price
125€
For those who have been working with experimentation for some time, this course proposes exploring advanced techniques in experimental photography that go beyond basic methods and emerge from combining various techniques. Additionally, we will brainstorm ways to apply these techniques and create new ones, fostering freedom for our imagination. This eight-session course begins with a live conference where we will gain a panoramic view of the possibilities for exploring and creating new techniques based on our existing knowledge. From there, we will proceed through workshops and pre-recorded conferences to delve deeper and uncover new possibilities. The course will conclude with a meeting where we will showcase all projects created and explore opportunities to continue growing in experimentation, seeking our own language and specialization.
