Shooting and Post Production Course

In this course, I’ll walk you through my complete creative process, the same approach I use for every editorial and fashion shoot. From location scouting to zonal editing in Photoshop, nothing is left to chance.

What you’ll learn:

• Creation of the photographic project: we will start from the initial idea, analyzing how a photographic project is born and develops, and the key elements for a result that excites and communicates.
• Choice of location: how to choose the perfect location, analyzing the impact of natural light and the surrounding environment to support the theme of the set and enhance the model and the dress.
• Creating a no-sew dress: the process of creating a dress specifically for the shoot without sewing, for an authentic and evocative look while keeping production costs low.
• Study of the colour palette: how to choose the ideal colour palette, creating contrasts or harmonies between the location and the model’s outfit for a striking visual effect.
• Directing the model: how to build an effective dialogue with the model, creating an atmosphere of trust and confidence, with techniques to encourage authentic expression on set.
• Complete post-production: from selecting the strongest images to creating a unique colour mood, working with Lightroom, Photoshop and GIMP. I will also show you how to use the zonal method to balance light and shadow, emphasize volume and create extraordinary visual depth.
