• Resumen

  • This research investigates the transformations of the field of photography in light of the intense transformations resulting from the technological innovations provoked by the digitization of the media. Computer technology has stimulated an intense process of technological convergence, especially in the field of audiovisual media. As a result of this process, high-quality photographic devices are capable of recording still images as well as moving images. Now, not only in post-production, but also in the capture of images, there is an approximation between photography and audiovisual. The central question of research thus arises: what can these transformations mean and enable in terms of the renewal of photographic narratives in the field of journalism and communication? As a methodological basis for the accomplishment of this work, the studies of Raymond Bellour and his book L'Entre-Images and L`Entre-Images-2, the work of Edmond Couchot presented in his book The Technology in the Art and the reflection of François Soulages in his publication Aesthetics of Photography. As a result of this theoretical-practical research it was possible to deepen the understanding of the hybridization processes of audiovisual media, particularly the photographic narratives in the field of journalism and communication, understanding its operational mechanisms and aesthetic, language, technological and production modes.
