Hi everyone,
Ever wonder why McDonald, KFC, Rolex/Tag Heuer Watches, Mobile phones look appealing to your eyes when you read magazines/newspaper/posters? Well that is because they make it look good so consumer like us will be tempted to purchase it. For example, how to make a burger appealing, alive and tasty is a very challenging task. How can you do that? Is it possible? The answer is YES.
So I am organizing a Studio Still Life Course @ Stanley Lim Colour Centre. This course is more controlling of lighting. It will enhance your lighting skills. By attending this course, you will learn one of the key elements to improving your skills is making an object look alive. I will meet you all personally first and give you a preview on what you will be expecting from this course.
It does not matter whether you are a newbie/amatuer, advance users, all are welcome to attend my course. There is going to be a pre briefing for those who sign up my course as I will explain a little more on what you will be expecting in this course.
