Rediscover photography with a handcrafted process and scan your negatives to be retouched in Photoshop

Nowadays, analog photography has given way to digital photography in almost all creative fields, from advertising to journalism, but there are still some lovers who highlight their virtues and prefer the reel over the memory card.

Carlos Rodríguez - better known as CAROGA - is one of them. With more than 25 years of experience, CAROGA has experimented with all types of cameras, development processes, editing and digitization, and in this course you will be introduced to the artisanal world of home-made film rolls of black and white film.
