YES, there is a (much!) better alternative to stock photos if you don’t have a professional studio.
NO, you don’t need to be a professional or have the highest-end phone to achieve amazing professional photos.
Do you have a regular phone camera and a Canva account? 
Do you like to play? 
Then YOU also can achieve outstanding pro-looking photos. 
In this course, we’ll be replicating a professional advertising poster, based on portrait and product photos we took at home. 
Let us show you how!

This class is for everybody: a couple of features are for Canva Pro users only but we’ll give tips on how to use them even if you are a Canva Free user. ;)
 
A bit about us: 
Ronny works at Canva as the Head of Communities and has been creating courses about Canva for over 2 years now. He runs 4 Facebook groups for Canva + his own community together with Diana. All of these are, of course, about Canva and how to become a better designer with Canva.
Diana is a professional photographer and a Canva Brand Ambassador (a Canva Certified Creative). She creates online courses about different topics like Instagram marketing, photography, personal branding and Canva.
 
The objective of this class is to show you why creating personalized visuals is so important for you or your brand to stand out of the crowd, and to give you easy tips to get a beautiful final outcome.
 
We will be taking photos with 2 different phones (high-end + older one, both Android but also works with iOS) and using Canva from our computers, but you can also follow along with only your phone. 
 
We’ll be covering the whole process, from the preparation of a home-made photo shoot session until the processing of the material: a playful compilation of essential photography knowledge and all the practical tips you need to get started - and accomplished.
This is going to be fun!
