About the video: Construction of intention
Overview
“One of the most important parts of the creative process is the determination of the image intent. It allows you to build a deeper and more meaningful image and therefore it must be clear and start from an individual experience. In this class, you will learn to organize your ideas through a help table where important characteristics, personal experience with them and elements that could build this narrative will be determined. We will also do a construction movement exercise together, a proposal to create greater intimacy with the construction of an image based on the idea (this exercise, in addition to being proposed, will also be exemplified in class). Finally, we will work on the construction of image intent from all the content already covered and, mainly, from the identification of each person's personal issues.”
In this video lesson Danny Bittencourt addresses the topic: Construction of intention, which is part of the Domestika online course: Fine Art Self-Portrait Photography. Learn how to use self-portraits as a form of artistic expression and create impactful photographs.
