The work of a photographer is so much more than just taking photos. One of the key factors for getting that perfect shot is that the model should feel comfortable enough to show their character with a camera pointed at them, and therein lies the importance of knowing how to direct on set. Eduardo Gómez, better known as Alter Imago, started out photographing rock bands in his studio. It was this that set him on the path towards portraiture and artistic photography, which in turn helped him become an expert in the art of directing models.

In this course, learn strategies and techniques for directing models and planning what poses you want for your photos. Eduardo shares a full range of tips and tricks for conveying your ideas and feelings through imagery.
