Building a strong visual identity as a photographer is almost as important as the quality of your individual photos. A strong visual identity helps shape your portfolio and decide how to begin a new project, from the concept and choice of frame to the composition and color. And thanks to its visually appealing layout and popularity, Instagram is a great way to share your photography with the world on your way to becoming a successful photographer.
In this course, photographer Pati Gagarin teaches you how to conceptualize, prepare, shoot, edit, and publish your photos, with the aim of converting your Instagram feed into the ideal cover letter for your photography work.

Ever since she was a young girl, Pati Gagarin remembers her father with a camera in hand, ready to capture every moment. Years later, she also caught the photography bug, which eventually led her to work with major brands like Adidas, 7UP, Aperol, Reebok, and Cerveza Tura. Her photos can be found in magazines such as Vogue, Vogue Kids, Elle Gourmet, and Tapas Magazine.
Her specialty is natural light photography, both for products as well as portraits, and Instagram is her platform of choice for showcasing her work.

At first I thought it was a basic course, but as it has evolved, at least for me, it has reached a very high level of how to create a portfolio on Instagram. It is perfectly structured, very enjoyable, and @patigagarin explains everything in a very calm, friendly and participatory way. Highly recommended, although due to time I cannot carry out the tasks that it encourages us to do, let's see if in the future...

The instructor's way of speaking is pleasant and entertaining. I loved learning knolling techniques and the resources she recommends. Working with monochrome knolling is quite a find.
