A course by Wanda Martin
Wanda Martin is a Hungarian fashion and portrait photographer based in London. She grew up in a family of artists and was taught by her father, a fellow photographer, about the history and technical aspects of photography from a young age. After he bought Wanda her first camera at 16 years old, she started taking self-portraits and soon discovered a passion for photographing portraits and people. She later moved from her hometown to Budapest where she studied history, the theory of cinema, fine art, and conceptual photography. Later, after completing a scholarship at the London College of Fashion, she moved to the UK where she completed a master's degree in fashion photography.
Since then, Wanda has worked with brands including Canon, MR PORTER, MATCHESFASHION, Atlantic Records, Sony Music, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, Saint Laurent, and Marc Jacobs. Her editorial work has also been published in Vogue, Numéro, Marie Claire Arabia, Elle UK and more. She has also worked with artists and musicians including Zara Larsson, Tom Walker, and Sean Lennon, and has been a European Canon Ambassador since 2018.

This is a nice course. I don't know if it's anything new compared to other courses, but its nice to see how Wanda approaches her photography. I've seen a lot of course on editorial photography lately, and perhaps I'm not wowed that easily anymore. She's a spunky, sweet girl though. :)
Interesante y práctico.
