Description

Capture organic, spontaneous, and expressive portraits that tell a story of fashion and beauty by learning to control light and direct your models

Patricia Bonet begins the course by telling you about who she is and her journey to becoming a photographer. She also shares her favorite fashion photography projects she has done and some of the influences that inspire her art.

Learn about how natural light works and how you can control it. Take a look at the photography equipment, props, and people you need for your shoot before putting together a mood board with references.

Next, analyze the light in the space you've chosen for your project and start taking photos, manipulating the light with different accessories. Patricia then shows you how to enhance your images using props.

Learn an efficient approach to reviewing and selecting the photos from your shoot and, once you've chosen the best, bring them into Adobe Photoshop to do some color correction and retouching. Finally, Patricia demonstrates why a well-crafted composition is key to telling your story and gives you some practical tips on how to share your project with the world.
