Adobe PhotoshopWhat is this course's project?
Elegirás un producto (imaginario o real) o una temática que quieras representar en imágenes, desarrollarás un concepto a partir de un mood board, diseñarás un set con medios sencillos, fotografiarás tus ideas y editarás las imágenes para utilizarlas, por ejemplo, en redes sociales.
Who is this online course for?
Beginners as well as anyone with experience wanting to sharpen their artistic eye with conceptual photography who is also interested in the best ways to put products, businesses, and organizations on the map.
Requirements and materials
An interest in design, art, and photography is the only must for this course, along with an open mind ready to have new ideas and see new perspectives. Some basic experience using a DSLR camera or smartphone as well as knowledge of fashion and architecture would be useful although by no means essential.
For materials you need a smartphone with either a good stationary source of light or natural light, or a DSLR with flash and a fixed light. You also need a few things to build your set that your teacher specifies throughout the course and a computer installed with Adobe Photoshop and, if possible, Capture One Pro.
