COURSES
Experimental Techniques
Advanced
Those who have been working with experimentation for a while already know that there are a large number of experimental techniques and that the possibilities grow to infinity if we think about mixing them! This course proposes to know advanced techniques of experimental photography, those that go a step beyond the basic techniques and those that are born from the mixture of techniques. In addition, we will think of ways to apply them and create new techniques, giving freedom to our imagination. This eight session course begins with a live conference where we can have a panoramic view of the possibilities of searching for and creating new techniques based on what we already know. From here, we will go through pre-recorded workshops and conferences to go deeper and open up new possibilities. We will close the course with a meeting where we will present all the projects we have created and we will look for possibilities to continue growing within the experimentation.
