It's been proven that the most successful photos on Instagram are the ones that you are in.

Mina Barrio, product photographer at Melon Blanc and social media expert, shows you how to step out from behind the camera and become a protagonist in front of it.
In this course, learn how to take engaging selfies and video selfies from scratch. Mina teaches you important concepts about light, settings, flattering angles, and how to pose with more natural expressions. Master these techniques to make your communication on Instagram more personal and capture your life experiences as memories for both you and your followers.

What an amazing course! I don't know why it took me so long to get it, because it has helped me experiment more with myself. I always liked being on the other side of the camera, and this course has helped me get to know myself better and, in that way, improve how I want to show myself on social media.
