We’re back from Castro del Río with our heads full of projects and our hearts filled with gratitude. Photography, laughter, learning, and friendship are the perfect recipe for a successful festival, and the INvisibles Photography Festival puts itself to the test every year to create the best dish.
We have added a new expert to the ANDANAfoto team. Meet Mira, an Artificial Intelligence specializing in photography and personal development training.
Pride, gluttony, wrath, greed, envy, lust, and sloth—these are the sins we’ve learned about. But in the 21st century, we wonder if we are sinning or if the concept of sin has become outdated and forgotten. Sin was associated with the existence of God, but it also reflects the relationship among humans and establishes the impact of our behavior on ourselves and others.
Creative experimentation through ideas, processes, objects, or words represents a powerful tool for creation and self-discovery, boosting our innate ability to think creatively.
Self-portraits are an instrument for self-knowledge, allowing individuals to reveal their bodies privately or publicly. They also serve to express emotions and convey one’s intimate essence. The artist and the model are one.
On September 7, 2022, Geles Mit, Antonio Morales, and Ana Martí Testón, members of the jury of the Second Edition of the ANDANAfoto Photography Contest, unanimously agreed on the following awards.
Love, although a deeply personal journey, can be a shared experience.Love takes us on a journey, guiding us to the essence of our own emotions. Through the act of loving, we not only gain the precious gift of understanding one another but also embark on a magical self-discovery process. We may think we are uncovering the depths of the other person, only to realize that we are actually discovering ourselves, much like gazing at our reflection in a mirror.
Understanding our own eroticism increases autonomy and fosters greater self-expression. Through our sexual choices—defining our identities, actions, and desires—we undergo personal transformation. Embracing this freedom expands our pleasure as we challenge societal norms and established boundaries.
Photography changes our way of seeing the world, of feeling and perceiving reality. It fosters intense processes of personal self-knowledge, knowing who we are and what we can do with who we are, a fundamental resource for the achievement of happiness.
