Reviews
A course by Tania Cervián Benítez
Tania Cervián is a trained psychologist who made the leap to photography when she discovered that light and beauty were what truly moved her. The way she sees it, photography is more than just a job, it's a wonderful tool for self-discovery and awareness. As an expert in portraits, she puts an emphasis on natural light and color in her work.
She uses her studio in Granada, Spain, as a multipurpose space to create and experiment, carry out photography projects for fashion brands and individual clients, and teach in-person classes.
