The New Tools for Digital Photography have caused a revolution in the industry. Get to know them and broaden your professional horizons"

Before drones, anyone who wanted to take photographs from the air had to resort to helicopters. As a result, photographers were forced to rent one and to equip themselves with telephoto lenses, which were quite stretched given the altitude at which a helicopter has to fly. However, the real problem with the altitude was the cost of renting a two-seater helicopter, which can reach 1,500 euros per hour.

This situation changed thanks to the arrival of drones. From simple toys, they are now equipped with the most modern technologies, such as long-distance remote control, built-in camera, autopilot and piloting through a screen. As for their price, they are certainly not cheap, but the great versatility and the enormous creative potential they confer on their owners more than compensate for the investment.

A great advantage compared to the helicopter lies in the fact that the drone can move closer overhead, not to mention the possibility of crossing trees and all kinds of obstacles, or even climb vertically up a wall and take pictures from angles impossible for a helicopter.

And the fact is that, as long as the current regulations are respected (which, by the way, will be carefully analyzed in this academic program), the drone provides the photographer with an infinite number of new niches in which to dedicate themself completely or partially. 

Wedding photography, for example, is starting to use these devices more and more, as they allow the capture of shots of a previously unthinkable aesthetic value. The marketing, advertising and even journalism industries are also benefiting from the use of drones.

With this Postgraduate diploma, TECH progressively instructs the student on the handling of cameras and drones, without forgetting the different digital post-production techniques which are equally important to obtain high-level digital photographs.
