Visual Poetry Diary: tell stories with photos and verses
A course by Lina Botero

Learn to tell stories by combining different languages, such as words, video, and photography to express your emotions in an original way.

When we read poetry, an infinity of images are associated with the verses. And each person will create a totally different album for the same poem. Lina Botero knows how to handle languages that feed each other when they get together and we make them talk.

In this online course, you will learn that a picture is not necessarily worth a thousand words. If not, it is potentiated when the words go beyond the visual description.

What is this course's project?

You will create a series of five photo-poems united by an intimate theme, combining images and letters and intervening each piece manually.

Who is this online course for?

To any restless and creative mind interested in linking the image and the word as a means of expression.

Requirements and materials

It is important to have a basic knowledge of photography and an interest in poetry as a tool for storytelling.

As for materials, you will need a tool to take pictures, a camera or mobile phone, a computer with Photoshop or Lightroom, your favorite writing instrument, printed photographs, and other elements to intervene in the images.
