Très bien !
Corso ben fatto e chiaro, ricco di spunti e idee.
Molto interessante la parte di progettazione/preparazione al progetto. (avrei approfondito maggiormente questa parte)
La seconda parte è incentrata sulla post produzione e bisogna conoscere i fondamenti di Fotografia e Photoshop (Capture One e Helicon Focus vengono comunque spiegati a somme linee)
Comunque OTTIMO CORSO e lo studio PARIS SE QUEMA è un vulcano di creatività elegante e raffinata
Khóa học tuyệt vời!
Très bien expliqué et bien organisé.
Very interesting course, very enjoyable. It's given me lots of ideas! The woman speaks very quickly (in French, which I know reasonably well, but not at THAT speed!) and at times left little time to fully understand what was being said/shown, but playing the video on 0.75 speed helped a lot. Some of the English subtitles were very strange, and a little of the retouching was rather fast. But very well worth persevering.
