Edition 2023

Transformation.
female noun.

Alteration, modification, change, conversion, reformation, readjustment, variation, mutation, metamorphosis, renovation, evolution…

Photography in transformation.

From chemical imaging to Artificial Intelligence.

From analog photography to digital camera photography, in a century. From digital camera photography to photography with mobile devices, in a decade. From being captured by the photographer, to the creation of “photographs” by artificial intelligence, in even less time.

The Castell-Platja d’Aro i s’Agaró Photographic Days celebrate their tenth anniversary.

When we began to outline the theme of this year’s conference, we realized that in the last decade, the photographic market and the profession of photographer have gone through many changes in an extremely short time, which in one way or another affect us.

How has photography changed?

This year, we invite you to join us at the X Jornadas Fotográficas de Castell-Platja d’Aro i s’Agaró where we ask ourselves, and our speakers and participants, how the photography market and the profession of the photographer has changed.

We reflect on its impact on visual culture, on workflows, on technology and on how we see the future of photography.

We work with great professionals from diverse fields of photography (really, they are luxury this year!!), who share their point of view and their experience in our talks and workshops.

As every year, we hope to be able to contribute our grain to educate your look and that you can incorporate new knowledge into your daily routine, either with analog, digital or computational photography.
