Creative Photography: Defining Concept and Color

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the photos you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Inspiration Choose your mood, setting, and subject matter by creating a mood board. Keep track of your ideas by starting a shoot deck. Plan Design your set, choose your color palette, and sketch out a few shot ideas. Preparation Identify model(s), wardrobe, and props. The Photoshoot Grab your camera equipment and take photos, keeping composition and artistic posing techniques in mind.

The Edits Last, organize and tone your photos in Lightroom, and edit them in Photoshop. And that's all! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”
