YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOOK AT
An interactive eBook to help you train your visual culture and photographic expression to use as tools for self-knowledge.
Photographs speak of aspirations, challenges, and a way of looking at life. Images enable self-discovery, providing insights into who you are, where you are now, and where you aspire to be. They empower you, shaping a fresh perspective and emotional connection with the world and influencing personal and social transformation.
We invite you to explore yourself from a unique perspective, stepping beyond the confines of your familiar world. Open your eyes like windows and uncover fresh perspectives, embracing new ways to look, think, feel, contemplate, use words, understand chaos, and appreciate art and expression.
In the book You Are What You Look At from the collection Photography to Get to Know Yourself, you will explore photography’s potential as a tool of self-knowledge, personal expression, and development, grounded in a theoretical framework rooted in psychology and the creative processes of contemporary art.
You will learn about visual culture and study artists who have dedicated their lives to crafting compelling and transformative works. You will acquire the skills to express yourself through images and create photographs that hold significance in a personal and intimate process.
I invite you to explore this book with an open and curious mind—a playful approach, a way of observing without preconceptions, judgment, or accepting or rejecting anything immediately. Simply embrace each experience and enjoy the journey of getting to know yourself as if meeting someone for the first time.
Everything you look at and photograph through your lens reflects your unique gaze—how you and only you look at things. So, look closely and attentively; don’t overlook anything.
You are what you look at.

A eBook by ANDANAfoto
ANDANAfoto
Photography as an educational and personal and social development tool.
Today, more than ever in history, we can take photographs at any time. We create images quickly and easily. We create images because we can. Any activity in our daily lives can trigger us to take a photograph, which is why we live in an era of unprecedented massification of images.
Photography is today the new universal language. Photos are memories but also messages to send and exchange. Photographs engage us optically, neurologically, intellectually, emotionally, viscerally, psychically… Photography moves us forward and changes everything.
In this context, ANDANAfoto was born—an initiative driven by the genuine need for a vision that combines art, social change, and personal development through the use of photography and still images as resources

FAQs
Can I get the book as a hard copy?
The book You Are What You Look At is available in hard copy at the ANDANA Festival or at in-person events where ANDANAfoto participates.
In what languages is the book available?
You can find all the book’s contents, including its audio, in Spanish and English.
How do you get to know yourself?
The content of this educational experience has been created using theoretical concepts and practical exercises that you will engage with individually. However, you may choose to share your progress on Instagram. You will receive training, inspiration, insights on artists, recommended music, and exercises. The results of your work will be revealing.
Will my exercises be supervised?
The process of getting to know yourself is an intimate and individual journey. The exercises will accompany you and make it easier to temporarily focus on what you will explore. Getting to know yourself through photography is a deeply personal journey that requires autobiographical exploration and a sacred space that belongs solely to you. In this space, you will interpret, project, and gain insights essential to your journey. If someone else did the interpretation for you, the process would no longer be yours and would not mean what it should mean to you.
Remember that the more explanations you receive, the smaller the space you will hold for your creativity and expressing your emotions. You should feel free and hold no judgment toward the images you create. Everything and absolutely everything you create will be perfect because it is yours and is born from your own unique gaze.
This is a fun, educational experience designed to help you get to know yourself better and deepen your personal development. Please note that ANDANAfoto does not offer therapeutic services.
