However, it’s exactly the opposite: super easy and almost no editing is required. In this course, I show how you shoot amazing black background photos with your camera or phone..

It is suitable for beginners and intermediates who wish to learn and improve the quality of their black background photos..

  • Are you qualified to teach this topic?.
  • While I used to be a commercial videographer for brands, during the first lockdown I started teaching photo/videography tips on TikTok,  Instagram and YouTube where I now count almost 1M followers among the two platforms. In less than a year I was able to transform my passion (photography) into a profitable full-time job, which is now teaching photography and social media..
