Create new connections between your ideas and discover alternative photographic processes to achieve original and unexpected results that have yet to be created.
Start: April 21, 2026.
First edition.
Workshop taught in English.
CREATIVITY is an intrinsic quality of being human; to be human is to be creative. It is not just a gift reserved for artists; everyone has the capacity to be creative in almost every aspect of life. Saying “I’m not creative” simply doesn’t hold true. I want you to understand that you are a creative person and how you can enhance this ability.
In this training, we invite you to work with your hands, connecting your ideas with experimental techniques to create unique pieces or develop new digital projects.
The goal is to experiment with photography, build your own camera, manipulate images, and alter materials to achieve original results that haven’t been explored before.
Creative experimentation with ideas, processes, objects, or words is a powerful tool for creation and self-knowledge, and it strengthens our natural ability to think creatively.
With a theoretical foundation rooted in psychology and the creative processes of experimental and contemporary art, you’ll receive audio content, activity guides, visual culture references, artists, music, and an experimental creative proposal every two days, with each session offering a new focus.
A total of 15 “creations.” Reading, listening to, and enjoying each session’s materials takes about 15–20 minutes. Once you receive the materials, you decide when to go through them and when to work on the suggested activities.
You’ll learn the physical and chemical principles of photography by working hands-on with photographic processes. You’ll use techniques such as camera obscura, chlorotype, photo embroidery, and cyanotype, among others, and explore how photography, painting, and sculpture are connected.

What People Have to Say About This Experience
@anica_canica
I loved it. It radiates love, attention to detail, good taste, passion for what you do, originality, and authenticity. It gave me a real surge of creativity and truly felt like a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. You’re awesome. Thank you so much. You’ve helped me discover things I know will stay with me forever. I’m so happy I took another training with you, and I’ll definitely be back for more!!!
@rosioaristizabal
It was an excellent process. Coming from an accounting background, I was used to thinking inside the box, with my mind full of rules and regulations. This experience gave me permission to create and reconnect with ideas that had been dormant for a long time. I feel endless gratitude for these learning spaces. They’re practical, enjoyable, and helped me realize that life, and every moment within it, is unique and ephemeral. Every moment is a treasure.
@Testasecca
I have greatly enjoyed ANDANA’s training in creative and experimental photography, as it has allowed me to discover new artists and their work, learn new techniques, connect with each of them, and resonate more deeply with some. Clearly, these are personal experiences that bring us closer to who we are, to what we like or dislike, helping us connect more with some creations than others, to connect, to feel, to disagree, to generate emotions, and to broaden our way of seeing.

I really wanted to learn new photography techniques to experiment and grow in my artistic practice, and you made it incredibly accessible with all the information and inspiration I needed to move forward.
