Photography on demand for beginners and enthusiasts

From 59.99 C$ /h

If you are at the beginning of your exploration of photography as one of your hobbies or a possible profession, you surely have many questions like these:

How does my camera work? Is it worth learning photography? What type of equipment should I buy?

My proposal is not a course in the strict sense of the word, but rather personalized mini workshops to respond to your particular concerns.

Depending on the level you are at, we can explore the following topics:

-Theory without mysteries
-Re-knowing your camera
-Finding inspiration (portrait, landscape, macro photography, etc.)
-Fundamentals in lighting
-Lightroom Basics
-Photoshop Basics

Before each session, you choose the topic you want to work on. In each session we will do a mix of theory and practice and you will have tasks to develop on your own and review in the next session.

The final objective is that you have elements of judgment and objective criteria to decide what your path in photography is and how far you want to go.

Extra information

Ideal if you already have your own camera and lens.

About Me

I am a photographer who thinks like a publicist and a publicist who thinks like a photographer. I combine my experience in the advertising industry with my passion for photography to create professional images of what makes a human being or an object unique.

I have learned photography on my own and by attending online and in-person workshops on topics such as lighting and wedding photography. Since 2022 I have been studying Photography at Fanshawe College in Canada, with the purpose of improving my skills and learning new things.

Illustrator is a great application that meets today's advertising needs. The focus of this course is carefully crafted, moving away from traditional teaching approaches in this discipline. It is essential to establish a knowledge link between color modes, the products that can be created with this application, integration with other applications, and different formats, such as the use of Excel spreadsheets to create interactive, mass-produced brochures with detailed information connected with markers.

Regarding integration, we will use two sister applications of Illustrator: Photoshop and InDesign for the creation of magazines.
