On April 12, 2024, the book You Are What You Look At was released, the first in the Photography to Get to Know Yourself collection, a project aimed at raising awareness about the transformative benefits of photography.
Since its inception, photography has been used by many artists as a form of personal expression and a tool to enhance emotional and mental well-being.
The five winning artists of the Third Edition of the ANDANA Photography Contest – 2024 exemplify this concept. In this book, these artists present their projects, intertwining them with deep reflections on human nature and the power of creative expression. They validate photography as a tool for transformation and self-knowledge, demonstrating the effectiveness of creative therapies.
In You Are What You Look At, we share knowledge and activities for anyone to explore photography as a form of expression and as part of their personal growth process. The book offers reflections and practical exercises that will inspire you to embark on your own journey through images.
We also aim to create a creative community through technological interaction, opening the door to in-depth research and contributing to the development of theory and practice in the emerging field of photography as an educational tool for personal and social development.
You Are What You Look At reveals the secrets of photographic expression by taking readers on an intimate journey of self-discovery.
The images in each artist’s project remind us that art knows no limits and that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, even amidst pain and adversity.
Each page invites us to look at the world with new eyes, find meaning in everyday details, and unveil the magic hidden in every picture we take. It is a journey of self-exploration, where photography becomes a means to express emotions, process experiences, and reconnect with ourselves and others.
We tell you everything about it in this video.
