A course by Rico Torres , Photographer
About the video: Tricks
Overview
“In my experience, there are three tricks that give dynamism to an image: take two photos with different focuses and join them later in post-production, use a fan to move the hair and upload the model to a platform to achieve a contrapicado frame. I show you the effect before and after each of them on the final result.”
In this video lesson Rico Torres addresses the topic: Tricks, which is part of the Domestika online course: The Photograph of Sin City: from the Comic to the Screen. Learn to illuminate, photograph and retouch photos with the Sin City aesthetic.
Partial transcription of the video
“Well, here I am going to explain 3 tricks that I always use when I take photos of posters the first one, undo the gun please, when the actor points the gun towards the camera if I am here making him the photo and I focus on your eyes the problem is that this is going to be out of focus totally out of focus, so what do I do to make everything focus? because if everything is in focus the picture is much more dramatic what I do is take the camera, in frame, focus on your eyes and take the picture and then focus on the gun, in frame, and I make a second photo in a matter of a second I have done...”

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.
