Ottimo corso che insegna passo passo come fotografare i cani, sia indoor che outdoor. Mi ha fornito gli strumenti necessari per iniziare a praticare questo tipo di fotografia e tante idee da poter mettere in pratica. Ho trovato utili i consigli che Maider Sierra Menéndez dà sull'approccio con i cani e i loro proprietari. Grazie

Para iniciación esta muy bien, toca todo los temas y es completo. Un poco básico para profesionales pero aun asì me ha gustado su enfoque y trabajo, siempre aprendemos algo. Me quedo sobre todo con la unificación de estilo y colorimetrias. Gracias por todo.
