"How to tell visual stories through photography"
The main objective is that the student learns how to develop and edit a story through storytelling and documentary photography. In this space, they will learn to refine a composition, understand the visual language, and carry out the practical and conceptual knowledge that will help them face stories in real situations. This intensive workshop will give students the tools to find their own visual language, and gain a new perspective on their personal work.
The dynamics of the workshop will be practical and theoretical. Essential aspects will be introduced to understand and execute a personal project with the same demands imposed by international outlets. This workshop delves deeply into the practice and individual creation of a documentary photography project. Each participant will develop a photographic story during the workshop. Daily editing sessions will be held on each project under Tamara's guidance, allowing participants to engage in discussions on the most appropriate ways to create, develop and edit a story.
EACH STUDENT WILL END THE WORKSHOP WITH A STORY!

Mentorships have 2 modalities:
1. Editing and sequencing of projects already developed, in which all of the material produced will be edited into a final sequenced project, leaving it ready to be presented to funds, magazines, media outlets and galleries, among others.
2. Short or long-term mentoring sessions to support the creation of documentary projects. Tamara will guide and accompany the student in their choice of a theme, pre-production, preparation, development, editing, sequence and writing text for the project. A final project will be created and sequenced in preparation for it to be presented to funds, magazines, media outlets and galleries, among others.
Themes that will be worked on include:
- Preparation and pre-production of the documentary story.
- Step-by-step, in-depth development of the documentary story.
- Deepening in the intimacy of the story.
- What is the best place for your story?
- Writing the text of your story.
- Editing the selection and sequence of photographs in a documentary story. We will review all of the material produced by the student.
- Digital post-production.
In the last 5 years, Tamara has given workshops on Documentary Photography and Storytelling in Chile, for National Geographic Learning, and internationally on a personal basis.
