A course by Denisse Myrick
Denisse Myrick is an Arizona-based lifestyle photographer and content creator specializing in street style and fashion. Although she studied criminal justice, she never felt the same passion for it as she did when admiring the images in art galleries. After one particular event, she decided to pick up a camera and create her own art. She started small, among friends and family, before shooting for the blogging industry.
Since then, Denisse has collaborated with brands such as H&M, Target, KIA, Lincoln, and Cadillac, and her photos have been featured in publications including Vogue Italia, The Knot NJ, Latina Magazine, People Style, InStyle, and ELLE. In 2019, she also won the TECLA award for best photography content creator.

Adobe Lightroom
It is an interesting course. I recommend it a lot.
Extremely basic information, very little value for anyone who has already been taking photos of people.
A very interesting course. I got very inspired as well!
This course has much to offer for the aspiring photographer who has a special interest in taking quality fashion and style pictures in outdoor urban settings. There are similar courses here on Domestika, but this is one of the few that hit the target with regard to the urban aesthetic.
