Conceptualization and art direction are two fundamental steps in fashion and portrait photographer Natalia Gw's creative process. However, her work really comes to life when she starts playing with light to achieve unexpected results. She refers to it as "painting with light". Would you like to learn how she does it?

In this course, Natalia teaches you how to produce editorial portraits from the idea phase to the final shoot using both a professional studio and your home. Discover how far you can take your photography without the need for big resources—just natural light, some flashes, and a whole lot of imagination.

Description

Learn how to create photographic portraits; from idea, to shoot, to Photoshop

Start by getting to know Natalia, her beginnings, the path that led her to specialize in portrait and fashion photography, her influences, and her way of understanding the profession. In addition, she talks to you about how important each creative process is and how they influence her work.

Create an image database, to develop your own style and use for future personal or commercial projects. Then, organize your ideas by creating a mood board by choosing your color palette and reviewing each aspect of your equipment.

Discover how to create professional-looking home studio sets by playing with fabrics, veils, and paper. From there, Natalia teaches you how to take professional portraits with both natural light and studio lighting. See how to experiment with color filters to add textures and effects to your images.

Finally, learn everything about the post-production of your photographs with Photoshop, including the selection of images, how to fix and correct photos, how to edit them, retouch them, and create a narrative series that can be published in your portfolio.
