“We have reached the end of the course. I hope you have learned a lot and that we can soon see your final project in the forum, but before saying goodbye, we will review the concepts we have learned throughout the different teaching units: - We have started with a review of who I am, what I do and what my references are. I have explained my creative process and we have enjoyed seeing samples of my works and other very interesting authors that inspire me. - Then we have seen what my relationship with the client is, be it an advertising agency or the producer of the film. - Next, we talked about the budget and how it affects the team and the resources we can count on. I have shown you the cameras, objectives and lights that I use and how to use them. - To deepen more in the field of lighting, we have seen one by one the effects exerted by each light on the model. We have also seen how to interact with him during the photo session to get us the pose we are looking for. - Finally, in the post-production phase, I have explained what is my workflow and the tricks in Photoshop to recreate the Sin City style. Do not forget to share your practices, doubts, comments and the final project with the rest of the students and with me in the forum of the course. A greeting!”

Rico Torres
A course by Rico Torres
Rico Torres, shooting photographer in Hollywood, has always been in love with photography. At 14 he learned to use his father's reflex camera and later, at 24, being a student at the Film School, he realized his enormous ability to capture dramatic moments by making a book of photos for a model friend. Thus began his vocation for photography, which has not stopped until today, 20 years later.
Despite not mastering the technique, his talent and his desire to excel earned him a place in the movie mecca and work with great directors like Robert Rodriguez, Ridley Scott, Martin Campbell , etc. For his objective, the most important Hollywood actors have passed, such as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Denzel Washington, John Travolta, Mick Jagger or Adrien Brody.
The big producers such as 2 0th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Troublemaker Studios, Netflix or Fuego Films have not hesitated to have their expressive talent to make the posters of films like The Mask del Zorro, My family, Pancho Villa, A Good Year, Hostel, Manolete, The darkest hour, Hands of stone or Tristan and Isolde.
In addition to film photographer, Rico Torres is also a specialist in advertising photography, example of which are his campaigns for Nike with Kobe Bryant as protagonist or for the fashion brand Coronel Tapioca.
