Lasting one month, this practical course was designed for photography enthusiasts and photographers who want to operate photography studios, as well as improve their post-production knowledge. Contemplating different genres of photography such as Art, Design, Fashion, Interiors and Architecture, we will address the main technical procedures of photographic making, simultaneously relating to reflective aspects surrounding creation with light. You will participate in a process where practices and knowledge are added to each meeting, a chain applied in stages to an authorial project of your choice, synthesizing at a professional level, all the experiences, exchanges and learnings of your journey at the end. Although it is not a requirement to have a camera, the course is recommended for those who at least wish to purchase one in the future, as technical aspects that require control of their functions will be worked on. To this end, the course has an optional package of introductory classes dedicated to presenting them, also available in the store.
