Learn the resources to tell a story through images
Dara Scully started taking photographs at age 17 and has since developed a unique creative voice and personal universe. Photographer and writer specialized in narrative photography, in this course she will teach you how to offer a photographic series in which the photographs have the power to tell a story in themselves and to create a global story by “reading” them as a whole.
For this, you will get to know her professional working method, from the birth of the idea to its final development in the photoshoot, and subsequent its editing and retouching in Adobe Photoshop. At the end of this course, you will have started an artistic path to tell stories in photographic series both behind and in front of the camera.
