Photoshop est une application exceptionnelle qui permet de modifier, corriger, sublimer les photographies. Ludique, elle permet de créer des visuels personnalisés avec un large éventail de possibilités.
Indesign est quant à elle une application plus dédiée à la mise en page créative. Avec celle-ci on peut créer son propre album photo, un cv original, flyers, affiche, etc.
Les deux programmes permettent ainsi de faire vos propres projets graphiques de la photo d'ambiance à la mise en forme. Créer ainsi vos propres cartes de remerciements, de mariage, vos invitations, etc.

As a freelance sports photographer, I've covered events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT World Challenge Europe, the Tour de France, GP Explorer 3, and football matches. Drawing on this experience, I offer a course for beginners and intermediate photographers who want to learn how to capture action with precision and creativity.

We'll see how to choose and adjust your equipment, anticipate movements, find the best angles, and capture the intensity of a sport, whether it's speed, endurance, or team play. I'll also explain how to manage light, create a small portfolio, and develop your eye to tell a story through your images.

My goal is to help everyone progress with confidence, understand the basics of the field and discover concretely the profession of sports photographer.
