Opinions about ANDANAfoto

It was a great experience; it informed my practice and helped me open up to new ideas while revisiting old ones from new angles. And I loved the artist’s inspirations; education on other artists’ works is very important! The songs were a fun addition as well.

I’ve just finished this course and I’ve got to say I loved it so much!I’ve been photographer for over 30 years now and I saw this on Instagram and thought this is what I need to challenge me creatively and make me think a different way about what I take and how I take it …and about myself to👍📷🥰 Highly recommended… I took this and would have never of thought of it before the course🙌

I loved it all! The invitations for self-observation, engaging with photography, discovering artists, exploring musical landscapes, and participating in a format that encourages the freedom to exhibit and share experiences on Instagram. And, above all, the introspective journey you have guided us through with great affection. I really enjoyed photography as a therapeutic and artistic tool. I would highly recommend this experience. I would love to repeat it!

I am passionate about photography, and giving myself permission to take different, intimate photos, which only I understand, helped me to further reinforce the internal process in each of AMAR’s actions. I gave myself this platform as a gift, fully intending to do every activity for myself and with myself, becoming the loved one. I enjoyed all the proposed activities.

I am just delighted. I took a lot away from the AMAR experience; I enjoyed it. The teacher’s voice is a caress to the soul. It helped me learn to value myself and share with my husband. I made him part of the experience. We enjoyed it together; we experienced it together. I loved him more for doing it with me. I discovered his sensitivity and love for me. The truth is I⁠ was moved by how he participated with me. What did it mean for him? I’m going to ask him.

This workshop has been one of my most enriching experiences, as it gave me an opportunity to explore my senses and capture the verbs related to the art of Loving. Also, with this workshop’s help, I could identify the love others express to me, accept it with gratitude and admiration, and reject what might seem like love but fails to hold its essence. In the course of this workshop, I could discover how I love and how I want to be loved. I loved it.

I thought I would find this workshop more difficult, but I didn’t… I flowed through it most easily. I didn’t focus on a romantic partner but on my family. And the experience has been very positive and enriching. For Action 15, Give time, I made a video of all my photos because I couldn’t even find the words. ANDANAFOTO… Thank you very much for everything. I found you at a challenging time in my life. And I think I’ve learned to recognize, accept, and channel my fears and feelings. I feel stronger and more capable and have developed the creativity I had kept hidden. I FEEL GREAT.

This month and with the AMAR course, I⁠ have had a wonderful and very intense experience, as I have experienced many sensations, feelings, and emotions together, especially because just this month, I was going through a rough patch, and this helped me externalize all the emotions I was experiencing. Thank you, Andanafoto, for this wonderful and intense course. Thank you for existing and making me love photography even more. You are the best. We love you.

The course can be as nourishing and profound as we desire. In my case, I’d wait those three days of the week to receive the audio clips with the photo links and the song recommendations. The audio clips are phenomenal!!! The narration is very well done, incorporating different angles and introducing renowned figures from diverse fields. These are really a few minutes to yourself. You can enjoy them like you would enjoy having a glass of wine with your best friend! Besides, the activities are gloriously fun. Sharing photos and/or messages with others is captivating. You can’t even imagine how pleasurable this course can be.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this project. Some assignments took longer to process than others, so it was a great thing that I could do it at my own pace. It took me 3 months to complete! Looking back at some of the photos I am inspired to do them differently so maybe I can take the course again in the future.

Great experience. never have I had a “class” journey like this one….thank you!

The subjects I worked on and the entire concept helped me believe in myself more and trust my instincts, especially as a photographer. It rekindled my connection with photography and guided me to discover my own style. While I haven’t completed all the subjects yet, I intend to work through them at my own pace.

I have loved this course. While I’ve been a bit shy about tagging as much of my work as I had hoped (so others could see it), I want to express my gratitude. I’ve really enjoyed this experience.

It’s not just the course. It’s what comes next. Your generosity is great and awakens my desire to keep going and somehow give back what I have learned. To you or somebody else. It’s not a course; it’s a wave that keeps spreading. Letting go is our responsibility. This course offers you an experience. Be open to whatever happens. Before pressing the button, a photograph is created by constructing a gaze. Our best gaze requires our best version. Photography also entails getting ready for our best gaze.

It was an astonishing experience! I vividly recall seeing the advertisement at the year’s end and viewing it as an opportunity to break from my routine. However, I ended up surpassing that expectation: shattering paradigms, reshaping ideas, challenging beliefs, evolving pictures, and adopting novel methods to explore myself. I have always loved photography, but I’ve now come to recognize that there’s a deeper layer beyond just lighting, framing, and composition. It’s about the essence within the photo and the inspiration that drives the artist to craft such meaningful art. I loved it!

I was impressed by the methodology used in the teaching-learning process. Incorporating psychology into the activities added significant value, facilitating my self-reflection, self-knowledge, and decision-making. Thank you very much for such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I look forward to participating in another one of your courses. Thank you, Amparo and the ANDANA team, for your enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment.

The experience with the Andanafoto workshops brings joy. When you can no longer find answers on the outside, you are “forced” to change your focus, and there it is! Inside, intimately, where you don’t look because you don’t remember to, because you are too busy with other things, because you are terrified to look there, because you are ashamed, you don’t like it, because it hurts, because you don’t even think about looking there. And you realize there is much more than you think in your surroundings, everyday life, body, mind, and spirit. And, by the way, there’s beauty. And, above all, you have fun. I will stay with Andanafoto for a while longer. Thank you.

I loved the workshop. Through this very different experience, I learned about edge photography work, themes, and techniques. It was also very personal, innovative, and creative, as well as very well-planned and directed. The experience helped me a lot in my personal life. The workshop was excellent!! It was also straightforward and practical for those of us who are not photography professionals. Congratulations.

“I am what I don’t imagine” and “I am time” have been revealing to me. I experienced some resistance to doing them. I didn’t really feel like it. I couldn’t find the right image. Confronting the emotions the exercise stirred up helped me become aware of the “dark” parts I didn’t want to see. An adventure into myself through self-portraiture. A space to get to know myself better, express myself, and show myself as I am. A deep journey. The workshop is delightful.

This Amar workshop has been a gift. Like the previous two, I have enjoyed it a lot. Visiting the verb “to love” through other verbs has been great. What can I say that I haven’t said before? I am fascinated and grateful!! A big hug for both of you.

My Chi-kung training website is on hold because I didn’t want to put photos of me looking at the camera. I didn’t want to publish videos and so on. In short, I didn’t want to show myself. And I did it as an exercise, but I didn’t think about how much it would affect me, how much I would play, or how much I would discover. For me, one of the most fascinating things about teaching is witnessing that unique moment when the other is surprised and “notices” or discovers things they haven’t seen before. You made me jump from surprise to surprise!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you infinitely for guiding me on this incredible transformative journey and helping me realize the profound connection my heart shares with the art of photography—an awareness I had never experienced until now. Thank you very much!!! See you in the next one… Did you think I was going to miss it?

Once again, it has been a pleasure to share another experience with ANDANA. Your approach is consistently infused with joy, and the resulting enjoyment becomes a powerful surge of energy and motivation. There is always an opportunity to reflect and take action. And, of course, I love how the experience involves all senses. No detail goes overlooked, and the passion and love for what you do is evident. I am so grateful to have coincided with you on my journey!

Starting from 11 o’clock, I eagerly awaited my message, knowing it was coming. The instructions consistently brought me happiness and a sense of surprise. These messages became my main motivation throughout the pandemic, especially during the challenging month of January, which felt like the end of the world and when regular gatherings and holidays were barely recognizable. Encouraging our imagination has been the most significant gift you’ve given us. Thank you so much, and I already find myself longing for more. Thank you.

Thank you.

This course unveiled to me the process of accepting myself and rediscovering freedom. It amplifies the way you look at things without adhering to stereotypes. Objects transform into subjects. It has enabled me to express my sensual side without society’s imposed sexual connotations. I now live and appreciate my body, thoughts, and how I perceive life’s internal and external elements. This opportunity serves as a reminder of the numerous people we love and who love us. Just like a cherished keepsake, it reminds us of our unique journeys. My days have become filled with vivid colors, images, and beauty. Thank you.
Thank you.

I am so grateful for this experience. I value genuine dedication and support in guiding individuals, whether embarking on their initial photographic journey or already acquainted with lighting and composition. I extend my gratitude for offering a fresh perspective on photography – an approach that’s both accessible and yet presents its own set of challenges. I wait anxiously for the new courses to get to know myself better and enjoy other people’s photography around the world like me.

It’s been a long time since I took a workshop that was agile, dynamic, interesting, profound, and creative at the same time! The prompts sparked a lot of interest and inspiration, motivating me to keep contemplating new photographic projects. I was also very interested in the path of self-exploration we were taking… Again, congratulations and thanks!

It is so lovely when someone helps you collect everything inside you. For me, this experience felt like a rediscovery. Thank you so much!

It was an intense yet profoundly beautiful experience. I felt very special. It has stirred a lot within me and altered my self-perception. I surprised myself in certain situations I didn’t expect to experience. I laughed, cried, and felt excited… I never felt alone, which was very nice. You’re great!!! The authors you always use as inspiration are very interesting and appropriate for the exercise. This project has just begun for me. I want to say thank you to Amparo and Javier because you are great and very professional. I would do it all over again tomorrow!!!

I loved it. It has connected me closely with my creativity, occasionally catching me by surprise. Without having a clue about photography, I have taken some amazing shots. I’m recommending it to my people.

Each activity has been an experiment and a self-discovery process. It encourages you to explore, observe details about yourself, and reflect. I highly recommend it.

The experience was wonderful; I never want it to end. It helped me listen to myself and have moments exclusively for myself throughout the day. It’s like a form of meditation or a parallel universe of continuous and special learning. It has stirred me up in places within me I didn’t know I had, and it has been a source of motivation for me during the pandemic. It’s also amazing to see the work of different people on Instagram. Congratulations on your work. You are great.

I am super happy to have found this course. I thought it was by chance, but now I realize I was meant to find it. I’m looking forward to more! It went by quickly, and now I even think it was short. Thank you very much for everything!

The course was definitely worth it. I loved the dynamic, and it helped me reflect on certain topics. I also enjoyed taking the photos, which made my imagination fly.

This is an excellent course, extremely thorough. It introduces you to a world of thinking and thinking about yourself, both as an individual and as a photographer, through your unique and distinct gaze.

The workshops are beautiful, and I will never tire of thanking you for everything you give us. They guide you with kindness and respect on the wonderful path of recognizing yourself and the astonishment of discovering yourself. Learning is invaluable. I am happy to have found you.

The experience came to me at the right time and was a good companion in another process of personal reconnection. It was a perfect tandem because it allowed me to capture many self-knowledge realizations and reflections in images. And I rediscovered tastes I had somewhat stored away: my dream of theater or my interest in photography and the visual. Each audio was a revealing opportunity to play and create. Thank you very much. And I hope to join another workshop soon. A huge hug from Chile 🙂

It has been very enriching. It’s helped me open up, show myself to others, and look inward, focusing on the details I don’t usually look at. Having just ended a long-term relationship, I felt hesitant to work on Amar; however, freeing up and dedicating time to take care of and love myself and my environment has been very helpful. Love has no limits. Thanks to the wonderful combinations of artists and musicians, I’ve discovered many I didn’t know. Thank you very much for this exciting proposal. With all my love, Sandra

I was fascinated by this new experience because, through it, I could get to know myself, love myself, and show myself, including my defects, without fear of being ridiculed or of what people might say. I feel very confident. Thank you.

This workshop gives you the little push you need to go deeper, feel, and live unexpectedly. It helps you surprise yourself.

I found it extremely profound and wonderful because it is a fusion of photography, which is my passion, with getting to know myself and being able to express myself openly. Now, I know I can do it without limiting myself further. The paths are infinite. I have fallen more in love with photography; it means expression and creativity.

ANDANAfoto helped me discover more things about my personality that I didn’t know, such as that I have much more creativity than I thought and much more imagination than I believed. I enjoyed it a lot, so much that I easily found the time to do it, and I could let go. My shyness seems to be diminishing, or so I think. I had a very good experience and plan to repeat it now. Thanks for everything. And thank you very much for this beautiful and precious project. I highly recommend it to everyone. It’s the best photography course I’ve ever taken. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

A beautiful and enlightening course to connect with your emotions and the act of loving. It’s doable, even if you have little time. A beautiful gift to give yourself!

The courses they teach are extraordinary! I couldn’t be more grateful for everything I’ve learned. Thanks to ANDANAfoto, I’ve seen the perspective of the photography behind the photo, the inspiration, and intention behind it!

Investing time in getting to know myself a little more has undoubtedly been one of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself. It has allowed me to be more coherent, authentic, and kind to myself, providing a clearer understanding of who I am and expanding my consciousness. It has helped me better understand myself and the people I accompany in their therapeutic process, which brings me satisfaction. I feel grateful for everything I have experienced.

I haven’t completed the online course “Self-Knowledge Through Photography” yet, but I followed Amparo’s advice and started from the beginning, diligently completing all the exercises in order. Truth be told, something inside me has been changing. I feel more secure and stronger than ever before.

I totally recommend this course. I found things of myself that I knew they were there but I never think about it or maybe I never knew they were there.

A marvelous experience! It has allowed me to contemplate matters and dismantle any fears or barriers. I’ve gained insights into myself and the world around me. This experience has been entirely novel and fulfilling. It is great knowing I’m not the only crazy one, hahaha. Thank you so much, ANDANAfoto.

A friend recommended the course to me, and I didn’t know what to expect… I loved the concept, and doing it motivated me very much. It’s like going to therapy! When it ended, I felt sad knowing I would no longer receive the audio clips and ideas they gave us. However, I am happy to know they have more courses ❤️ Thanks for helping us discover the art living in us.

Hello! I found this journey to be amazing. This year, I chose to spend December 31st alone, away from family and friends. This course helped me better understand myself and recognize how I used activities to mask certain aspects. I learned to acknowledge my viewpoints and thoughts. While I couldn’t complete all the exercises, I intend to take my time over the upcoming days to work through them. Thank you so much! This experience has been beautiful.
