Course "Masterclass"
(Level: Advanced)
Photography is about using your imagination, it's about creating ideas that appeal to people and generate interest from the viewer's point of view. One of the most important things a photographer must learn is to only include elements that enhance the composition of the photo. There are never any distracting or unwanted elements in the photo. This point cannot be stressed enough. Knowing what to leave out in your photo is just as important as knowing what to leave in your photo
The different topics covered in the lectures:
Introduction to famous photographers covering every area of photography – composition – camera – settings – movement – depth of field – light – street photography – portrait – studio lighting – voiding – products – still life – color temperature – fashion – architecture – advertising – landscape – editing – animals – interior – night photography.
