What's included in this course?
Discover how Andrés Espinosa got into photography, as well as his biggest influences and the importance he places on capturing the history of fashion across his work.
Start to consider your final project, looking for references to help you express the narrative of your photos and translate them into a mood board to serve as your guide throughout the process. Also learn how to communicate your idea to a team and put it into action.
Once you have the concept decided on, it's time to make your images a reality by way of three effective photos using different angles, poses, and framing. In addition, Andrés gives you tips on guiding your model with an assertive approach to get the expression you're looking for in your project.
Next, choose the photo that best represents the story you want to tell and take it to the next level with Photoshop editing. Do some basic retouching using the tools and tricks that your teacher shares with you, to give your work a professional look.
To round out the course, Andrés advises you on how to look for shape and color inspiration in references outside photography, allowing you to understand the expression of the human body through movement. Now you've got all the skills to convey emotion and tell stories through your images!
What is this course's project?
Take a series of three photos with a narrative of your own, using different angles, poses, and compositions.

wow, me ha encantado el curso, es súper-completo, ameno y hasta divertido, con un montón de información útil. me ha encantado la parte de conceptualización por que va más allá de lo típico de “vamos a hacer un moodboard”. Si tuviera que recomendar un solo curso de fotografía de los que he tomado con Domestika sería este sin duda. El profesor es encantador, que haga más cursos por favor <3
