Interior Design Photography Course (Udemy.com)

A great course! I found it very exciting to be able to look over Serge's shoulder while he was photographing and later editing the pictures. After studying to be a photo designer, I am currently finding it a little difficult to have a photographer with whom I can learn the practical side of things. Therefore, the course was another valuable building block in my training. I was also able to learn a few tips and tricks in image processing.

I learnt several things from the course. I am already proficient in LR but it was interesting to see how a pro photographer used it for this application. I liked the instructor, his manner and his voice. I think the first part of the course could possibly be expanded to include the interiors of homes as well as hotels, however I would expect the principles to be similar. Overall, it was worth doing this course and I think it was exceptional value.

Excellent video. Serge explains everything very clearly as he is editing. He tells the viewer why and how to use particular features including all the necessary key strokes. I particularly enjoyed how he utilises the radial and graduated filters to add drama to his photos. I learned a great deal from this video. Overall, a good watch. Highly recommended

Dicas excelentes, o profissional repassa o conhecimento numa linguagem bem acessível, de maneira objetiva. A forma como ele transforma fotos comuns em fotos excelentes, usando as ferramentas mais comuns do PS e LR é impressionante.

I work as a professional retoucher and was hoping to gain some other points of view or techniques to keep myself current and knowledgeable. I am always open to new ways of doing things. Most of these techniques were not useable to me as I do this every day, and a lot of them were frankly quite bizarre. His "$100,000 technique" would get me fired if I used it on anything. Perhaps this will work for some people trying to get into the business but this is not an advanced course. The teacher, however, was very charming and seemed kind and approachable in his teachings. If the techniques were more applicable in the "real world" so to speak, this would be one of my favorite instructors.

Onestamente, era gia a conoscenza della maggior parte dei contenuti. C'è qualche piccola "perla" ma nel complesso abbastanza basic. Inoltre la qualità video durante la dismostrazione fotografica equalche altro video, lasciano al quanto a desiderare.

I found that Serge's view on interior photography is similar to mine. I mean there are a lot of good interior photographers who make high quality, proper images of real interiors and their works look very professional and beautiful but... so boring! Opposite: Serge makes his photos wonderful and sometimes even fairy! His works present the rooms like places where everyone wants to be (isn't this the main purpose of interior photography?). I know that Serge is a great landscape photographer (I'm a subscriber of his youtube channel) and I think he transfer his view on landscape photography onto interior one and that's what make his works very special. Moreover, I fond of his energy and optimism, I like his ability to explain difficult things very simple and interesting (I never yawn watching his tutorials). I also would like to add that his tutorials make me believe in myself as a professional photographer. Thank you Serge a lot!

Pretty good course, you will learn a lot but may feel that some things are missing. Which for me are: Making more detail shots and the retouching of the detail shot. Also the retouching of normal home living rooms, kitchens, etc. with normal daylight and open curtains. At the moment it's only hotel rooms. Other than that it's great.

Just exactly what I needed! Straightforward tutorials highlighting key things to make your shots filled with wow factor! Simple view steps, and voila.. awesome outcome. (And yes, grateful for the quick action tips on removing wrinkles on beddings and curtains, those wrinkles really bother me!). Look forward to your next course. :) Hope to find one on how to remove reflection on some of the interior items (without losing the gradient / background tone). :) Thank you.

Enjoyable course, it is obvious that Serge loves what he is doing and passionate end enthusiastic about it so that is contagious. I use exclusively Photoshop as Photoshop raw was already existing when I got into photo editing. My greatest challenge in interior real estate photography is that how to properly focus ( he mentioned once that he uses aoutofocus, but it is one point or general aoutofocus?) My pictures are relatively sharp using a general autofocus but I really would like them be sharper without doing too much with them and making them crunchy in PS. Every video advise you differently. Also how to deal with windows that has zero window treatment. How to get rid of the blue highlight that windows that has no curtains or blinds cast on wood floor. I very much like him, his produces stunning photos sometimes a bit too dramatic for my taste bat that is subjective.I also realized that most people love dramatic so I am pushing myself into that direction. I think he is great and and easy to understand.I like when he says police border instead of border police. English is also my second language so I totally understand. Kudos for Serge. I wanted this course for a very long time and on this site the price was finally acceptable for me so I am happy.
