The lighting and posing tips completely changed how my phone portraits of my kids turn out.

Non avevo mai pensato che con il solo telefono si potessero fare ritratti cosรฌ belli, ma questo corso mi ha aperto gli occhi. Le lezioni sulla luce naturale e sull'inquadratura del viso sono spiegate in modo semplicissimo, perfette per chi parte da zero come me. Ho iniziato a fare pratica con mia sorella e i miei nipoti e giร dopo la seconda settimana si vedeva la differenza nelle foto. Il ritmo delle lezioni รจ piacevole, mai troppo lungo o pesante, cosรฌ รจ facile trovare il tempo per esercitarsi. Adesso quando scatto un ritratto penso davvero a dove mettere la luce invece di premere il pulsante a caso.
I picked this up mostly to take better pictures of my dog and my nieces, and it delivered way more than expected. The lessons on window light and finding a clean background completely changed how my photos look without buying any new gear. Each lesson is short enough to actually finish during a lunch break, which made it easy to stick with. By the third week I could already tell which direction to face someone so the light hits their face right. My camera roll looks like a different person took it now.
Sobrang laking tulong ng course na 'to para sa akin na phone lang gamit ko sa pagkuha ng litrato ng pamilya. Yung part na pag-uusapan yung angles at natural light talaga ang nagbago sa quality ng shots ko. Medyo mabilis lang yung explanation sa ilang parte kaya kailangan ko ulit-ulitin panoorin.
Aprendรญ a usar la luz natural y a encuadrar mejor los retratos con el celular, y ahora las fotos de mi familia se ven mucho mรกs profesionales.
Eu sempre achei que fotos boas exigiam uma cรขmera cara, mas esse curso mudou completamente minha visรฃo sobre isso. As explicaรงรตes sobre luz natural e รขngulos para retratos sรฃo bem diretas e fรกceis de aplicar atรฉ com pouca prรกtica. Comecei fotografando minha filha em casa mesmo e jรก na primeira semana as fotos ficaram muito mais bonitas do que antes. O ritmo das aulas รฉ tranquilo, dรก pra acompanhar mesmo com pouco tempo livre. Hoje em dia sou eu quem tira as fotos em quase todo encontro de famรญlia.

Selama ini foto-foto keluarga di hp cuma asal jepret, hasilnya biasa aja. Setelah ikut kelas ini jadi ngerti soal pencahayaan alami dan sudut pengambilan yang bikin wajah orang kelihatan lebih hidup. Sekarang setiap acara keluarga selalu diminta motret karena hasilnya beda jauh.
