Hi everyone,

After months of development and a successful beta some weeks ago, Composition From The Ground Up, the most comprehensive online live masterclass on composition is now open for enrollment.

If you want to confidently reach mastery in a fundamental aspect of architecture visualization, level up their craft, streamline collaboration with clients, and boost both creative & business outcomes, this is the masterclass for you. It covers everything :

- Fundamentals of perception

- Intent

- Framing

- Lighting

- Color

- Presenting your work

- Exploring composition options

- Culling composition options

- Building your repertoire

- References management

The course consists of 24 modules I'll present live during 2 x 4 hour sessions, and 4 x 1 hour core modules that are pre-recorded that will alternate between theory, case studies and practical exercises in order to make sure you have a proper understanding of the ins and outs of the concepts I'll be presenting.

Exit the basics like the rule of thirds or the golden ratio (I'll explain you why there are poor tools in the first place), we'll go in depth not only on how to build an image but why build it one way and not another. I'll share with you my methodology on how to build strong visuals. We'll also deal extensively on how to present your work properly to your clients and lead meetings rather than suffer unnecessary changes and unproductive review sessions.

It's basically everything I wish I had known when I started my freelancing career 6 years ago. This course will take you from wherever you're standing at level-wise now to being able to confidently craft compelling visuals and properly communicate the underpinnings of why it works to your colleagues or clients.

Whether you are looking to start out the right way

Or just want to deepen your understanding of composition

Or already have a team and want to take it to the next level

Or are an architect working on a daily basis with archviz studios

Composition From The Ground Up, as its name entails, covers everything you need to know on the topic of composition to become a more seasoned archviz artist and not a mere archviz technician.
