Affinity by Canva Expert Course (In-Person) - Free

The course was born from the need to train highly specialized professionals capable of completing a complete photographic project, from conception to post-production, primarily using Affinity Photo software . Participants will be able to work as freelancers or within companies that entrust their image management to professionals capable of enhancing their brand, improving its appeal and market recognition.

The training program begins with a photographic analysis and an understanding of photographic technique, aimed not only at producing a technically correct shot but also at the professional and informed use of post-production software. The goal is to understand the fundamental criteria of photography so that digital processing is not simply a simple modification, but rather a thoughtful reworking consistent with the communicative intent and the publication platform (print or web).

TARGETS:

The project aims to create professionals ready to respond to current market demands in the field of photographic post-production, thanks to the acquisition of the basic tools and rules of photography and the subsequent specialization in digital image editing, using primarily the Affinity Photo software and its most innovative retouching techniques.
