At DMACC, I was provided with the opportunity to study and learn in a professional setting with access to multiple studios. Here we had the opportunity to capture many professional images ranging from Product Photography, Headshots, Fashion Shoots and many more. We also learned how to use many Adobe Softwares, resulting in complete fluency in many Adobe Platforms including Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and others.
