Learn how to create hybrid photographs by combining traditional and experimental production techniques
Hybrid photography brings the most intimate moments of personal transformation to life and creates narratives that push the boundaries of portraiture. Visual poet, writer, and teacher Danny Bittencourt expresses her feelings through this combination of languages and mediums.
In this course, learn to create a hybrid image combining photoshoots with other artistic production techniques. With the help of your teacher, discover different ways to build a personal narrative through creative experimentation and watch your feelings materialize before you.
This is Danny Bittencourt's third Domestika course. See her other courses Fine Art Self-Portrait Photography and Professional Photography: Managing Your Freelance Career.

muy didactico y bien explicado
Excelente curso y nadie mejor que Danny para internarnos en este proceso de sanación y autonocimiento. No te lo puedes perder.
Recomendadísimo por la gran inspiración que supone!
El objetivo era ambicioso, pero el curso en mi opinión se queda muy corto. No profundiza en las técnicas de fotografía híbrida y se queda en una simple introducción que te invita a seguir investigando por tu cuenta.
Heel inspirerend
