Explore the aesthetic possibilities of food and its packaging
Francesc Guillamet is one of the best gastronomic photographers in the world. For his camera have passed the creations of great chefs such as Ferran Adrià, Sergi Arola, the brothers Roca (Jordi, Joan and Josep), Carme Ruscalleda or Paco Torreblanca.
In this course you will learn to portray food in an aesthetic and harmonious way, highlighting the nobility of the product along with the chef's preparation. As an example, Francesc will show you the challenges he has had to overcome when it comes to portraying vegetables in miniature, very difficult elements given the delicacy of the raw material, the size, the absence of color and textures.

Es un gran honor tener fotógrafos de talla internacional. Aprendí aspectos de iluminación y retoque. Así como la importancia del trabajo en equipo al sugerir que puede ir mejor para la sesión, y finalmente lo que le ayuda al cliente para vender su producto. Que ese es el objetivo final de la fotografía comercial. muchas gracias y seguiré con DOMESTIKA.

Me inspira la manera en cómo empezó a hacer fotografía de gastronomía @FrancestGuillamet, definitivamente a todos los que nos encanta este arte sea aficionado o profesional este curso nos desafía a empezar a hacerlo, a tomar acción de una vez por todas, ya que con toda la pasión puesta en cada shooting uno se irá perfeccionando en el camino y mucho más tomando estos cursos que son de gran ayuda, muy buen curso.
