If you love photography but feel bored or stuck in your process of creating meaningful and artistic images, then this class is for you!
Let's unleash the artist inside of you!
Photographers can also be artists, but sometimes they forget or are afraid to take risks and artistic license with their work, preventing them from expressing their unique views. So, in this class, we will embrace the artist inside, take full advantage of our camera settings and lens, and intentionally break some photography rules to express our vision with In-Camera effects. 
The more you practice, the easy it will be for you to create these effects on the go. This skill will become part of your photography tool kit that will allow you to create unique creative photos for yourself and why not for future clients.
 What You Will Learn:
I have broken down this class to walk you through all my workflow so that you can emulate it or get inspired to build your creative system!
The first lesson covers: 
<ul><li>Step by step, how you can get inspired to construct a story vision all the way to how to merge it with in-camera effects. </li>
</ul>The rest of the lessons focus on two central teachings:
<ol><li> Provide examples of how I merged a specific In-Camera effect with my vision to help tell a story or emotion. </li>
<li> How to achieve a specific in-camera effect. You'll learn how to bend reality with your camera settings and lens. I have selected 5 of my fav effects for you to try out. They are:</li>
</ol><ol><li>Frozen motion.</li>
<li>Motion blur (long exposure technique).</li>
<li>Zoom.</li>
<li>Out of focus.</li>
<li>Motion blur with the  Intentional Camera Movement technique.</li>
</ol> Is this class for me?
This class is for anyone who feels stuck or bored with photography. If you're someone who can take technically good photos that just don't move you, this class will help you reconnect with your inner voice while also adding dynamism to your images.
Even the beginner is welcome here; this class will inspire you on how you can achieve meaningful work while learning about camera fundamentals so that you can start creating right away. 
By the end of this class, you will have a comprehensive idea of merging inspiration, storytelling, and taking advantage of your camera settings and lens, as if you were using different brushes, to create artistic work without relying on photoshop. 
 Materials:
The basic equipment you will need is:
<ul><li>Digital camera.</li>
<li>A tripod or a base to hold your camera</li>
<li>and any editing software to enhance your photos, i.e. ( Google photos, LightRoom, VSCO, Snap seed). You get the idea.</li>
</ul>For more advanced In-camera effects, you will need
<ul><li>Zoom lens (for the zoom effect) </li>
<li>A lens with a focus ring, or a phone's camera (both for the out-of-focus effect). </li>
</ul>I have included a PDF with other options in the resources section if you don't have this equipment.
Lastly, it would be good to have:
<ul><li>Black or gray background/backdrop or dark bed sheets or fabric (for the motion blur)</li>
<li>A Shiny/reflective object (for the motion blur)</li>
<li>A constant light. It can be a house lamp (for the motion blur)</li>
</ul> Resources:
<ol><li>Download the workbook and resources manual I have created for you, as it summarizes all the fundamental concepts of each technical lesson. These resources will allow you to immerse yourself in the videos and then have the workbook handy as a guide when working on your project. </li>
</ol>The resources I have included are.
<ul><li>A list of all the equipment I used for each in-camera effect</li>
<li>Alternatives in case you don't have the gear I used.</li>
<li>A section to write your camera settings while you are experimenting or any notes about your process.</li>
</ul>Dont worry if you don't have all the equipment I am listing. I encourage you to watch the lessons, get inspired to experiment and find ways to achieve in-camera effects with whatever you have available. There are always options to create, just as I did when creating my self-portrait Elena, which was published in photo vogue Italy.
You are all set! I can't wait to see what you create!
