The objective of this course is to provide the theoretical and practical foundations of architectural photography. This ensures participants gain the essential principles needed to photograph their first project. In the second phase, participants will apply the knowledge they have acquired during a photo shoot of an assigned architectural project. Following the photo shoot, the process will continue with the editing of selected images, printing, and mounting, culminating in a photo exhibition at the "La Incubadora" space in Cumbaya. The goal is to provide workshop attendees with a comprehensive experience, covering everything from capturing images of a building to printing and mounting them for an exhibition.

Juan Navarro Baldeweg has pursued his creative work across various expressive fields, including architecture, painting, installation, sculpture, and essays. His body of work forms a distinct artistic corpus, remarkable for both its coherence and the diversity of the media in which he works.

The multiplicity of influences in his work, along with his commitment to applying his principles regardless of the medium, has led him to focus on creating pathways between different artistic practices.
