Es un curso demasiado básico, nada que no puedas aprender con cualquier video de manera gratuita, dinero tirado a la basura.

si bien es básico, me sirvió para inspirarme. No soy fotógrafa, pero me encanta sacar fotos y justo tenía que hacer unas fotos para ayudar a unos amigos en pandemia a vender cosas, y compré el curso para guiarme, y resultó muy bien. Explicación fácil y buena onda, recomendado.
