Learn to develop your photographic eye to capture the architecture of your city
The camera does not make the photographer: the key to taking good photos is to develop a vision and a process, and to stay constant through trial and error until the magic happens. Pablo Casals Aguirre is a trained architect and self-taught photographer who has dedicated more than a decade to capturing the beauty of architecture through his lens. He currently has more than 100 registered projects from all over the world and his work has appeared in publications such as Dwell, C3, Domus, and ArchDaily.
In this online course, learn to develop your unique photographic eye and use an urban setting as your playground, applying Pablo's techniques to shoot a photo series of a specific building or the streets in your city.
