Reviews
A course by Alejandro Chaskielberg
Alejandro Chaskielberg’s passion for photography started at a young age when he discovered its capacity to alter reality and show it in a more fantastical aspect. While he studied Photography Direction, he worked as a photojournalist, documenting the reality around him.
He developed a unique technique and aesthetic for night photography, for which he is recognized today, receiving the Iris de Oro prize, and claimed the Best Photographer of the Year from the World Photography Organization. He has worked in many parts of the world including Japan, Italy, Surinam, and Argentina, among others, and published three photography books to date.

Me ha parecido destacable la parte de las referencias así como la búsqueda y tratamiento del tema, ya que en un curso así esperas que haya mucho contenido enfocado a la técnica y sin embargo este curso aporta mucho valor adicional. Muy recomendable!
