Portrait Photographs that Tell a Story

You will start by knowing the photographer Ricardo Pinzón, he will tell you a little about him and his professional career, as well as the references that have defined the style of his work.

You will learn how you work on a daily basis for magazines, and discover more about the publishing world.

You will see what the creative process of your project is: from beginning to think about the concept of photographs to transmitting a story. Investigating your character will help you find the concept to convey. Then you will prepare the preproduction of the session, where your ideas will begin to become photographs.

You will find out how the dynamics are in the photo shoot and everything that is needed, such as equipment or materials. Ricardo will give you some tips to deal with the model in the session, making him feel safe at all times.

You will discover how you can make your lighting schemes and see how to improvise with the light during the photo shoot.

After the session, you must make a selection of photographs, taking into account what you want to communicate and start with postproduction. Ricardo will give you the keys to retouch and reveal your photographs, so that you finish contributing your vision.

You will end up putting together your story in the editorial layout, checking that there is a coherence between the photographs and that the objective of your project has really been fulfilled.
