Learn how to prepare your photos to streamline your home printing process, and experiment with different kinds of paper
Making an artistic project tangible makes it last over time. That is why there are still many people who value printed analogue photography over digital. On the other hand, there is the possibility of working digital photography in the print medium, as does photographer Johnny Chavez, who manages digital photographs for various applications such as photobooks, portfolios, catalogs or exhibitions in galleries.
In this course, Johnny will teach and accompany you in the process of working with your digital photographs, which you will later print to create a personal portfolio made with alternative papers.
