Feel. Observe. Listen.
We all carry an incredible camera in our pocket, and almost no one uses it with intention. Taking a photo is pointing and shooting. Making a photo is deciding what you want to say before you touch the screen. That's what I teach: first the idea, then composition, light and editing. All on your iPhone.
Same scene. A different eye.
Same place, same phone. What changes is the decision: where I stand, what I leave out, where the light comes from and how I edit it. Seville, 2023 — iPhone.
01
Where I stand
Changing the angle changes the story: straight on, from below, from above.
03
Where the light comes from
Backlight, side or front: the light sets the mood of the photo.
02
What I leave out
Framing is choosing. What's not in the photo also counts.
04
How I edit it
Color or black and white: editing finishes telling what you saw.
Five modules. One process.
Each module ends with "Practice time": you go out and make photos, not just watch videos.
1. Feel · Observe · Listen
Before you shoot: what do you want to say? Intention turns a photo into an image.
4. Composition and framing
Rule of thirds, negative space, overhead shots, frames, angles and environmental portraits.
2. Your iPhone as a camera
Lenses, Portrait mode, Night, Live, Photographic Styles and ProRAW: what to use and when, depending on your model.
5. Editing on your iPhone
My workflow in VSCO and Snapseed, plus the Photos app: from the raw file to your own style.
3. Light
Backlight, side light, silhouettes and artificial light. Light sets the mood.
+ Practice time
An exercise in every module to go out and make photos today. Share them with #SienteObservaEscucha
