Vega Hernando - creator of the Instagram account Eating Patterns - has not only managed to stand out, but has turned her passion for gastronomy and photography into a creative studio with which she has generated content and designed caterings, private dinners and all kinds of experiences for brands such as Estrella Damm or Adidas.

In this course you will learn to transmit creative concepts through gastronomic photography, making the most of your ingredients using visual compositions.
