There are as many ways of photographing as there are pairs of eyes in the world, there is no photographer capable of capturing an instant in the same way as another, and that is precisely where the beauty of this discipline lies. Beyond the technical advances, everyone trains their photographic eye in a different way and is able to appreciate beauty in different moments and places, giving us the spectators an unrepeatable visual spectacle. We are aware of this difference when it comes to get behind a camera and we enjoy all the processes that professional photographers from around the world give us in the courses they teach in Domestika, so we have compiled a series of fundamental courses for photography lovers, professionals or amateurs, so you can learn from the best and deepen, learn and discover the techniques of those who make us enjoy photography with their images.

Introduction to Digital Photography

The camera does not make the photographer, but knowing your camera and its parameters exponentially improves the quality of the images you capture and opens up a new world of possibilities that otherwise would have always been hidden. The renowned Spanish photographer Jesús G. Pastor (@jesus_g_pastor) becomes an exceptional teacher for those who are looking to take their first steps in the world of digital photography.

Developing RAW Files on Lightroom Classic

Otro proceso esencial en lo que a fotografía digital se refiere es el revelado de archivos RAW, un formato utilizado por los profesionales de la fotografía que te permite realizar ajustes directamente sobre el “negativo digital” abriendo, nuevamente, un nuevo universo de posibilidades. Edu Gómez (@edugomez), fotógrafo de belleza, te desvela todos los secretos del revelado de archivos RAW con Lightroom en este curso.

Artistic Self-Portrait Photography

When she started her career as a photographer, Cristina Otero (@cristinaotero) realized that she was her own best model and since then she has developed a way of working in which she does all the work herself in front of and behind the camera. In this course she teaches you how to master the art of artistic self-portraiture and also shows you how she has developed her unique retouching style.

Photographic Post-Production for Imagination

In the work of Silvia Grav (@silviagrav) it is also common to see her in front of and behind the camera but, in this case, her work draws attention because of the post-production work, which turns her photographs into authentic pieces of poetic reverie.

Secrets of Photomontage and Creative Retouching

In addition to capturing reality, photography has the power to allow us to create fantasy worlds that, otherwise, we could only dream of. The work of Carles Marsal (@carlesmarsal) is a clear example of how, through different images and the mastery of digital retouching, impossible universes can be created.

Photography as an Expressive and Artistic Means

More than photography, the work of celebrated Mexican photographer Gerardo Montiel Klint (@gerklint) reminds us of a play. His photographs seem to want to come to life and that is thanks to the use he makes of the resources at his disposal. In this course he teaches us to use photography as a means to express ourselves artistically.

Creative Studio Photography with Scale Models

Who said that in order to take incredible photographs you needed excessive means? Of course those words have never come out of the mouth of Félix Hernández (@felix_hernandez). This Mexican photographer became known worldwide thanks to the realistic images he achieves using small toy models and all kinds of miniatures and scale elements.

Photo Journalism and Social Photography

Although perhaps not the most aesthetically recognized branch of photography, photojournalism is one of those professions that are embraced by vocation. Telling stories with a camera on your shoulder is something that Manu Brabo (@manubrabo) has been doing for half his life (and for which he has received a Pulitzer Prize), a hard and satisfying profession that he teaches us all the ins and outs of in this course.

Architectonic and Urban Photography

The city and the landscape become a real muse in the eyes (or rather, lens) of Nicanor Garcia (@nicanorgarcia) who, in this course, teaches us to open our eyes to the beauty of urban buildings and the wildest landscape, to become architectural photographers in search of the perfect symmetry.

Professional Photography for Instagram

In this day and age, it is necessary to recognize that a professional camera is not essential to obtain effective photographs. Marina Barrio, from Melon Blanc (@melonblanc), is a true professional of photography for social networks and in this course she teaches us how to create perfect compositions and photographs using only a smartphone...

Travel Photography with Mobile Phone for Beginners

The only photographic equipment you need to document a trip with incredible results is simply a smartphone. Dan Tom (@dantom) has been photographing his travels for years and in this course he teaches us how to use the smartphone to capture interesting images of your travels, thanks to techniques such as the use of light, perspective, angulation or the rules of composition.

Beginner’s Photography: Basic Camera Use and Theory

When it comes to telling stories through photography, Giulia Candussi (@giulia_candussi) is one of the best people to listen to. As a photojournalist and documentary filmmaker, she has reported on human rights, international events and cultural identity. And, in addition to telling us how to make a photograph that tells something more, she also guides us through the keys to her process for taking professional photographs.

The Secrets of Portrait Photography

Portrait photographer, nude photographer and also fashion photographer. Bob Wolfenson's (@bobwolfenson) work represents him and he represents his work. They are a unit. He believes that a relationship is created between the photographer and that which is presented in front of the camera. It is a relationship of trust, of exchange, that cannot be explained. And this is the only way to create artistic portraits that are so special, natural and magical.

Introduction to Analog Photography

Light is the most important element in photography, so much so that without light there would be no image. Especially in analog photography. Albert Roig (@carmencita_film_lab) makes you fall in love with analog photography again, introducing you to the magical possibilities offered by the most traditional photography.

Adobe Photoshop for Photo Editing and Retouching

As important as photography is retouching and photo editing. And Daniel Arranz (@danieloweb) guides us through the most useful and best performing actions of the Photoshop tool. Daniel, in addition to being a professional photographer, is a certified Adobe expert, so he knows the program in depth. You may start the course as a beginner, but you will end up as a specialist.

Food Styling and Photography for Instagram

Delicacies are not only savored through taste, but also through sight. In the work of Kimberly Espinel (@kespinel) we see appetizing dishes with warm colors in photographic format. Learning with this photographer, food stylist and, above all, foodie is going to be a very appetizing journey through knowledge.

Color Theory in Photography

With any photograph, an emotional response is expected from the viewer. Color has the power to change that perception of the image. Mastering color is essential to convey the message you want to communicate as a photographer. Yaopey Yong (@yaopey) guides us through the fundamental principles of color in order to understand and master it.

Modern Headshot Photography: Capture Profound Portraits

One way to get to know a person is through a portrait. The portrait is able to capture the essence of a human being and tell us about that person. Phil Sharp (@sharp_phil) has photographed actors and actresses, always showing their most authentic side. In this course he will teach us how to tell the story of those we want to portray and immortalize the magic in a shot.

Intimate Photography Portraits

The work of photographer Marta Mas (@leentrelineas) is close and intimate. And it is so for many reasons: for the relationship with the model, for the light, the location, the materials and the postproduction. In this course she takes us through a journey through all aspects, telling us her methods and techniques to get honest and close images.

Introduction to Digital Photography in Manual Mode

Muchas veces conseguimos unos resultados únicos y muy creativos con el modo manual de nuestra cámara. Sacarle todo el partido es tan sencillo como dominar la exposición, la composición y la velocidad de obturación. Debbie Castro (@debbiecastrow) nos sumerge en la parte más técnica de la fotografía para que no dudemos en disparar el botón de la cámara con nuestro propio lenguaje visual.

We know that it is almost impossible to choose between the tremendous variety of disciplines related to photography, so we wanted to select the fundamental courses related to this discipline. However, you can take a look at all the courses related to photography in Domestika and, in addition, to celebrate World Photography Day, you can sign up for a special price.
