スマホだけで人物写真をここまで綺麗に撮れるとは思っていなかった。自然光の使い方や被写体との距離の取り方など、基本だけど今まで知らなかったコツが丁寧に説明されていて分かりやすい。友人や家族を撮る練習課題があるので、実際に手を動かしながら学べるのもよかった。数週間続けただけで、家族写真を撮ると褒められることが増えた。次はもっと構図の勉強もしてみたいと思わせてくれる内容だった。

Selama ini foto-foto keluarga di hp cuma asal jepret, hasilnya biasa aja. Setelah ikut kelas ini jadi ngerti soal pencahayaan alami dan sudut pengambilan yang bikin wajah orang kelihatan lebih hidup. Sekarang setiap acara keluarga selalu diminta motret karena hasilnya beda jauh.
Great practical tips on lighting and framing for phone portraits, though I wish there was more on editing afterward.
I picked this up mostly to take better pictures of my dog and my nieces, and it delivered way more than expected. The lessons on window light and finding a clean background completely changed how my photos look without buying any new gear. Each lesson is short enough to actually finish during a lunch break, which made it easy to stick with. By the third week I could already tell which direction to face someone so the light hits their face right. My camera roll looks like a different person took it now.
My portrait shots look so much better
Kurs pokazuje krok po kroku, jak wykorzystać zwykły telefon do robienia naprawdę ładnych portretów bliskich osób. Najbardziej przydały mi się wskazówki dotyczące ustawiania światła o różnych porach dnia. Zdjęcia rodzinne ze spotkań wyglądają teraz zupełnie inaczej niż wcześniej.
スマホしか持っていない私でも、家族や友達の表情をぐっと魅力的に撮れるようになりました。光の向きを意識するだけでこんなに変わるのかと驚いています。特に窓際で自然光を使うコツや、背景をすっきりさせる構図の説明が実践的でよかったです。ポートレートモードに頼りきっていた自分が恥ずかしくなるくらい、撮り方の引き出しが増えました。欲を言えば編集アプリの章がもう少し詳しいと嬉しかったですが、初心者には十分すぎる内容です。
Sobrang laking tulong ng course na 'to para sa akin na phone lang gamit ko sa pagkuha ng litrato ng pamilya. Yung part na pag-uusapan yung angles at natural light talaga ang nagbago sa quality ng shots ko. Medyo mabilis lang yung explanation sa ilang parte kaya kailangan ko ulit-ulitin panoorin.
The lighting and posing tips completely changed how my phone portraits of my kids turn out.
تعلمت كيف ألتقط بورتريهات جميلة لعائلتي بهاتفي فقط، وأتمنى لو زاد الشرح عن الإضاءة قليلًا.
Aprendí a usar la luz natural y a encuadrar mejor los retratos con el celular, y ahora las fotos de mi familia se ven mucho más profesionales.
Non avevo mai pensato che con il solo telefono si potessero fare ritratti così belli, ma questo corso mi ha aperto gli occhi. Le lezioni sulla luce naturale e sull'inquadratura del viso sono spiegate in modo semplicissimo, perfette per chi parte da zero come me. Ho iniziato a fare pratica con mia sorella e i miei nipoti e già dopo la seconda settimana si vedeva la differenza nelle foto. Il ritmo delle lezioni è piacevole, mai troppo lungo o pesante, così è facile trovare il tempo per esercitarsi. Adesso quando scatto un ritratto penso davvero a dove mettere la luce invece di premere il pulsante a caso.
Eu sempre achei que fotos boas exigiam uma câmera cara, mas esse curso mudou completamente minha visão sobre isso. As explicações sobre luz natural e ângulos para retratos são bem diretas e fáceis de aplicar até com pouca prática. Comecei fotografando minha filha em casa mesmo e já na primeira semana as fotos ficaram muito mais bonitas do que antes. O ritmo das aulas é tranquilo, dá pra acompanhar mesmo com pouco tempo livre. Hoje em dia sou eu quem tira as fotos em quase todo encontro de família.
