Intervened photography: Reimagine your images with art and experimentation. Intervened photography is an artistic technique that breaks the limits of the traditional image by combining it with drawing, painting, collage, sewing or digital processes. Far from seeking technical perfection, this practice invites to reinterpret existing photographs, question what we see and give them a new creative life. Intervening an image is an act of appropriation and transformation: a way of adding layers of meaning, emotion or memory. In this article we want to inspire you to try intervened photography, regardless of your previous experience in photography or visual arts. It's not about knowing more, but about daring to experiment. What is Intervened photography? Intervened photography is a mixed technique that modifies a photographic image, printed or digital, through manual or digital actions. It can involve painting on a photo, stitching, cropping, scraping or digitally altering it, creating a new work from an existing one. Its origins can be found in contemporary artistic practices as well as in experimental movements of the 20th century. Today, this technique is experiencing a new boom thanks to emerging creators who share their processes on social networks and visual platforms, where the mixture of languages becomes artistic identity.
