Create beautiful images of indoor spaces and learn the essentials of planning, shooting, and post-production
Interior spaces can express mood, tell stories, and create aspiration—even simultaneously within a single image. Whether it’s white walls and clean lines or colorful furniture and eccentric details, interior photography is about capturing that emotion by balancing light, composition, and depth to make viewers feel like they’re actually there.
In this course, join photographer James Rajotte and learn how to capture the beauty of interior spaces through the lens of your camera. From preparation to post-production, discover how James practices experimentation and patience to produce professional architectural images that highlight the uniqueness of any indoor space.

El curso está muy bueno para iniciarse en la fotografía de interiores. Por momentos me pareció muy técnico. Hace más foco en la edición posterior que en el momento de fotografiar pero me sirvió mucho. Sin dudas lo recomiendo!

Ho fatto il corso per fare le foto a due appartamenti che affitto. Il corso è perfetto, dà dei consigli molto utili in modo chiaro e sintetico. Bisogna conoscere le basi della fotografia ed avere una macchina che può fotografare in manuale. In tal caso risulta tutto molto semplice e chiaro.
