GOALS 

This course aims, on the one hand, to complement the student's basic technical knowledge, providing them with advanced photographic tools and techniques; and on the other hand, address aspects related to photographic language and the semantic content of images. In short, help the participant to reflect on the reasons that lead them to capture a specific photograph or story, how to resolve the technical questions that may arise and how to translate these concerns into images.

3. The photographic story.

METHODOLOGY 

All classes are practical, so students are advised to always carry their equipment with them. We will build the theory from practical activities.

We will combine sessions in the classroom with practical outings and with exercises proposed by the teacher and that the student must solve during non-contact hours. These works will be viewed and commented on in class.

Each student will develop a personal non-face-to-face work on the topic that he himself proposes or the teacher advises him.
