Questo corso è un'ottima occasione per imparare a scattare foto per un e-commerce, spiega molto bene come creare una foto, dallo scatto, alla post produzione, alla pubblicazione. È molto utile perché approfondisce sia come viene riflessa la luce sugli oggetti, sia gli schemi di illuminazione con luce naturale.. Sicuramente è un corso che consiglio, personalmente ho imparato molto. Grazie Andrés!

Me encanta cómo Andrés explica el manejo y modelado con la luz natural junto con cada uno de los fenómenos físicos según el tipo de producto que tengamos. Tal y como lo dice él mismo; se trata de jugar y experimentar con los distintos tipos de materialidades, formas y condiciones lumínicas, ser recursivo y creativo. Súper recomendado.
