Introduction to the master
Photography is a language in itself. Mastering a language takes time and dedication. After you master a language, you are able to create and share stories, thoughts, points of view, and emotions. This is what the modern documentary photography industry is searching for, creators with a personal point of view on contemporary topics. This master will teach you how to master the new documentary photography language, the tools you need to create and engage an audience, and how to develop a professional career as a contemporary documentary photographer.
Moreover, LABASAD offers you the opportunity to learn and apply Artificial Intelligence to boost your career through masterclasses and workshops on AI, integrated into the Master’s programme, with the most up-to-date tools and resources, guided by expert professionals in the field.
