Néhémie Lemal
A course by Néhémie Lemal
At only 20 years old, Néhémie Lemal has already directed a short film and multiple acclaimed photo series. Her photos convey the beauty of a youth that is sometimes lost and stigmatized, but always radiant.
Passionate about photography and cinema since her teen years, she trained at the national film school CinéFabrique. She likes to photograph her family and friends the most, in vintage, desaturated atmospheres, which she imbues with brown tones.

É um bom curso, porém, não explica sobre COMO usar o celular para fazer as fotos. Traz mais fotos conceituais, sem abordar técnica em si. Apenas técnica de iluminação.
This course is excellent and one of my favorites on Domestika after taking probably sixty or seventy courses here. As a new and aspiring photographer, I learned more from this course about lighting skin than I've seen anywhere. I have not found many tutorials that focus on darker skin tones and I will absolutely return to this course as a reference. The instructor's Instagram page is worth a follow as well.
Enjoy the shift in light and mindset. Kudos for an insightful course
