Since then, he’s become a full-time freelance photographer, started his own YouTube channel and hosted workshops on photography. His photographs have been featured in publications such as It’s Nice That, i-D, Creative Boom, The Guardian, and more. He also shares his works with over 100K followers on Instagram.

Great course! Easy to understand and practice the lessons, literally every walk around the block becomes an opportunity to see the world through a different perspective and try to translate it into the lenses of the camera. I particularly love the idea of photographing the things around you, because it makes immediate, rather than waiting for the proper scenario to come.

Il corso é veramente molto basic. Se si ha una base minima di fotografia con smartphone e post-produzione non lo consiglio.
