A course by Tobi Shinobi
London-born Tobi Shonibare, best known as Tobi Shinobi, is an award-winning photographer who describes his style as ‘simply complex’. Since his childhood, he has been fascinated by concepts such as balance, fairness, geometry and symmetry, sparked by seeing his mother’s technical engineering drawings in the house. He first fell in love with photography when exploring the streets of Shoreditch, East London, and appreciating the contrast between old and new architecture in his home city.
Tobi’s work ranges from architectural and portraiture, to documenting current affairs and product photography. His passion lies in turning familiar everyday sights into abstract compositions through the power of perspective and contrast. His unique and signature style has led him to work around the world for clients including Nike, Adidas, Puma, Audi, Apple, and Bose. As well as shooting stills and motion, Tobi works in the Creative Lab at TikTok as a Creative Strategist. He’s also a Lightroom, and a Sony Global Imaging ambassador.

PlusA brilliant course - great content and delivery. I picked up a lot of useful tips and learned about some features I had no idea about, even though I have been using Lightroom for several months. Tobi's calm, deep voice and friendly personality make the learning process even nicer.

Es un buen curso, pero es para principiantes en Lightroom, yo esperaba que fuera un poco más avanzado. La forma de exponer y hablar del instructor me pareció supremamente aburrida.

Corso fatto bene, completo e ben costruito. Unico problema: non viene utilizzata l'ultima versione di Lightroom per cui può essere difficile seguire i comandi a video.
