In this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software. This efficient and powerful software was first used for the preservation of archaeological objects and historical monuments, but is now used for video games, VFX and virtual reality, as it offers tools and results of a impressive quality, all in an easy-to-use interface.

In this course, you will be able to learn:
-How does photogrammetry work?
-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it
-How to optimize scans for custom use (games, movies, etc.)

Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.

It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

Hi !
it's a long time since I am working as a photographer, a bit more than 20 years and I really love my profession.
Photography is both a work and a passion.
I am doing fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. I enjoy the studio work.
I am also passionate about exterior photography, travel images, pictures done in nature.
I can teach you on an online class different photography subjects depending on your needs.
We could go through the very basics of photography, see how a digital or film camera works, the aperture, time, ISO speed subjects.
On an online class we could also do some more creative things like PORTRAIT techniques, or if you have FLASH lights and want to learn more we could go through it. We could also try Light Painting, with a long exposure using a torch light held by hands .

If you're already taking pictures, I'd be happy to see your work. In the last times I am personally trying to make my portfolios a bit different than my habits. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.

This course is designed to help you achieve professional-level results directly in-camera, eliminating reliance on post-production. Drawing on my 11 years of international experience (8 years in Colombia and 3 years leading and training teams of photographers in the United States), I have developed a practical method focused on mastering the art of photography.

What will you learn?

Solid foundation for beginners: If you're starting out, I'll give you the technical and conceptual tools to build a profitable career in the product world, teaching you to produce with professional rigor from day one.

Advanced techniques for photographers: If you already have experience, we will raise your level by mastering the physics of light, total control of reflections on complex surfaces (glass, metal, liquids) and the use of precision optics to avoid distortions.

My approach is practical and focused on business results. You'll learn to understand light and sensor behavior to deliver flawless images that meet the demands of any global market.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to sharpen specific skills, I tailor sessions to your pace and goals.
You'll learn from someone who has worked with professional broadcast systems, major production houses, and international tournaments — so you get not just theory, but real-world perspective.

This course is aimed at photographers and visual creators who want to take their images beyond capture, developing a professional editing workflow and their own visual identity.

Throughout these sessions, we will learn to use the fundamental tools of Adobe Lightroom Classic to optimize photo quality, correct technical issues, and enhance their visual impact. We will work from organizing and selecting images to advanced digital development, retouching, and final adjustments for printing or digital publication.

In addition to the technical aspects, the course places special emphasis on developing a coherent and personal aesthetic.
