Óscar will also introduce you to the fundamentals of lighting, allowing you to create a miniature photography studio with minimal expense. Additionally, you’ll learn some of Óscar’s digital retouching tips for adding that special touch to your images.

What is this course’s project?
Create the album cover of your dreams by crafting a miniature set and using a photograph of it as the illustration. Let your imagination run wild as you construct a lifelike scene with everyday materials. With the techniques you’ve learned in the course, you’ll be able to give your set depth and texture, and capture it with professional-looking photographs. Use your unique vision and skills to design an album cover that perfectly represents the music within.

Requirements and materials
Previous experience in modeling, sculpture, or photography is not required, although familiarity with Photoshop and digital retouching is beneficial.

For materials, modeling tools like an airbrush and mini drill may be used, but simpler methods and more common materials can be substituted for the same effect. Styrene sheets are an example of such materials.

A compact digital camera is suitable for photographing the diorama, so there’s no need for sophisticated photography equipment.
