Not everyone can afford a professional photographer or camera. This unique course allows interior designers to capture their own work using their phone cameras for professional use. You will learn how to photograph residential interiors and products, and how to capitalize on the space around you to find the ideal perspective using natural light. You will understand each step, from how to configure your phone camera, to the final edits of photographs using photoshop and InDesign.
Capturing the essence of a space through a picture, with the best angle, lighting, and shapes requires knowledge, technique, and insight to understand and express the story that lies behind walls. Renowned photographer Claudie Strydom, a professional interior photographer, unites her knowledge in both design and photography in this course. This is a 4-week course of 16 hours total (4 sessions x 4 hours).
