Intro
This ‘ADVANCED’ course is designed to help partcipants to develop a photographic body of work. They will research and identify their own creative process, developing a personal language whilst applying the technical and expressive tools required. We use a dynamic and participatory pedagogic method, showing historical and contemporary photography authors to tackle key debates about the medium. This is a course where photography is studied and made in ways challenging the status-quo, while being open to the medium’s many possibilities. 

Content
During these 12 sessions, participants will be encouraged to develop a photographic body of work, learn about different creative process through case studies, understand the relationship between content and form as well as thinking in potential outcomes to disseminate the final outcome (exhibitions, books, multimedia...)  The course is structured in 3 thematic blocks: Thinking, Making & Sharing which serve as starting points for the participants to direct their own work.

In this course, partcipants will move beyond the single image and will explore the construction of series or collection of images to communicate ideas, emotions or stories. We will question the meaning of visual narrative, the capacity and difficulties of photography as a narrative device, the posibilities of creating allegories and the complexities of representing the world as it is.

At the end of this course you will have developed a body of work as well as testing different outcomes on how the work could be disseminated. You will be introduced to a set of new creative strategies and ideas that will help and challenge you in the creation of series and sequences that communicate ideas, stories or emotions.

Participants
This course is aimed at anyone with basic knowledge of photography as an expresive language and its technique. People who would like to develop a personal body of work that help them to communicate ideas, emotions or stories.
