Reseña del editor

A game for creating powerful images while learning the basic principles of photography. Perfect for those who take pictures regularly and creative social media users who would love to improve their skills. Enables you to apply the ‘tools’ that smartphones or digital cameras can’t provide, like soul.

The game consists of 72 cards divided into five categories: Genre, Composition, Fundamentals, Principles and Attitude. Each card will coach you on the secrets of visual language and will enhance your creativity. It displays 30 visual principles and enables you to play with tools that smartphones or digital cameras don’t provide, such as the psychology of forms.

Because photography is everywhere, this is a must-have game for its style, easy rules and ludo-didactic features that allow you to learn while playing in teams or individually.

The box includes two games.

1. BE A MASTER: to create an image based on a photography genre and four given rules. 2. REFINE YOUR EYE: to discover the rules in existing photographs. Each has a different goal: make a powerful photograph in less than 20 minutes, or discover the rules of photography connecting images and concepts.
