Who is this online course for?
This course is aimed at designers, illustrators, photographers, retouchers or amateurs who want to learn techniques and tricks to create photocompositions. In short, the most important thing is that you like to spend hours playing with Photoshop!
Requirements and materials
Patience and basic level of Photoshop. If you know how to use the magic wand and the operation of the layers (and we are not talking about Harry Potter), you can perfectly follow the course.
You will need a computer, have Photoshop installed and, above all, a lot of creativity.
A course by Peter Porta
Peter Porta is an international photographer and cinematographer. He loves working with new technologies and is always exploring the latest touch-up and lighting techniques. For him it is vital to collaborate with people from different disciplines (make up artists, digital artists, 3D artists ...) and create new images that go beyond the conventional. Some of its clients are Diesel, Bershka, Freixenet, Vodafone, Asics, Heineken and many of the main international agencies.
As a storyteller, Peter believes that cinematography was the next natural step in his career and has developed documentaries and video clips without forgetting his more altruistic side collaborating with ONG'S in international campaigns.
Finally, Peter confesses to us, in his study and in his sessions, good music is never lacking!
