Experimental Outdoor Self-Portrait Photography

“Dear student, we have reached the end of the course, we have made a pan from my personal composition as a photographer to the motivation and work of other renowned photographers that I considered appropriate to share with you. We have learned the form and the pertinent considerations to put together a photographic project and we have also included the use of experimental techniques in this process. These methods evade the frontality of the photographic shooting, making it more complex, providing new nuances that open larger doors, the expansion of creativity and the illumination of unexpected lands where you can deploy your artistic projection. We are starting from a project proposed by me, but that is only the take-off platform, the limit is finally drawn by you, with your desire to experiment and with your enthusiasm for creating images.

Remember also that the best advice sometimes comes from who does not know you, who does not feel that they have to make up their words and on the contrary, they offer it to you with full honesty. A lot of strength in your process, tenacity and drive when creating. ”
