If, as a great Brazilian writer once said, "there are no facts, there are only stories," then those dedicated to telling them are faced with a noble and extremely important task. Get ready to take your first steps in this discipline alongside Hugo Santarém, a photographer specializing in socially relevant narratives who has received renowned awards such as an International Photography Award, a MonoVisions Award, and The Independent Photographer award, among others.
In this online course, learn to create narratives and showcase different perspectives through the lens of humanist photography. Hugo, who strongly believes that "an essay is an intersection between the photographer's vision and the world as captured by them," teaches you to choose a theme, plan your photoshoots, and edit your images, while maintaining the utmost respect for the people you choose to portray.
