With specialist studies in photography at the EFTI school, and a career spanning more than six years, his main dedication is studio photography: books and personal sessions, catalogs and fashion editorials, as well as promotional photography, always with a focus on lighting to offer a personal, original, and unique vision.
His work has been published in various digital and print media, although what he is passionate about is personal photography. His mission in every job he does is always to get a unique photograph, using the tools at his disposal and giving his portraits their own personality.

He is an expert in lighting and has created his own YouTube channel where he offers advice on photography and lighting. He has the vision, technique, and ability to master light and transmit it to students and for this reason he works as a teacher, holding workshops and as part of the Too Many Flash photography school template.

This course was fine to show the basics of how to operate a digital camera. You could find that information in a free PDF. Don't expect more than a primer that you can continue to build on with more in-depth courses. Using action figures to teach the concepts would be fine for teaching children, but nearly insulting toward adults. I rarely give a negative review, but I would not recommend this course over others on Domestika that are far more sophisticated.

Es un curso básico pero bien explicado. Quizás hay determinados ejemplos que sería mas efectivo hacer determinadas demostraciones con gente y con otro tipo de objetos que no sean muñecos.
