The Art of Perspective: Tools that make your pictures POP

Learn 200 years of artistic innovation in less than two hours. Transform flat pictures into 3D photos with Perspective.

What's Inside

Perspective…is one of the greatest inventions in the History of Art and most photographers are only ever taught the Cliff’s Notes to Perspective, leading lines.

What did Perspective do and why would you want to learn about it?

Perspective allowed flat, 2D pictures to transform into life-like, 3D images that revolutionized how we see. It is how we went from cave paintings to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

Renaissance artists invented the tools of Perspective so they could make flat walls feel like they were windows to another world. They brought the ceilings of cathedrals, the walls of palaces, and the most famous paintings of all time to life using Perspective.

  • But how does Perspective work?
  • Where does Perspective come from?
  • How can photographers use it?

Up until now the best lessons of Perspective were reserved for exclusive art educations. But I will take these lessons out of their Ivory Towers and bring them to photographers around the world and share these tools for a fraction of the price that I paid for me university degree.

My Goal is Simple:

  • I pull out the most essential ideas that took hundreds of years to evolve and put them into an 1.5 hour program designed specifically for you.

It took over 200 years for artists to develop a system of perspective. But you can learn everything you need to know in less than 2 hours, with this course.

What can you do with Perspective?

  • Maximize depth of field and bokeh.
  • Create depth without leading lines.
  • Use geometry of streets, architecture and nature to support your vision.
  • Combine Perspective techniques so your pictures will jump off of the print, screen, book, or whatever final format you choose.

It doesn’t matter if you photograph people, landscapes, still lives, weddings, travel, street or somewhere in between. These lessons can be applied to any type of photography and will make anything you do better.

What is a picture like without Perspective, flat, lifeless, and boring…and who wants pictures like that?!

Adam Marelli

After completing a degree in sculpture and photography at NYU, Adam Marelli spent ten years apprenticing with both a master builder working on high-end residential projects and as a student of a Zen monk. He spent seven years studying in a monastery teaching the younger students how to maintain the building in exchange for his education. This afforded him an unparalleled understanding of both the “way in which things are made” and “how beliefs are put into practice.”

As such, Marelli takes a noticeably different approach to photography, putting the experience first and the camera second. Armed with only a pencil and a camera he is taking art outside of the studio and re-examining the roles of the artist and explorer. Unlike other photographers, he is not an observer behind the lens. He is an artist who participates, understands, and works alongside of the cultures he photographs.

For the past six years, Marelli has opened the doors of his studio to train photographers in the lost lessons of classical art. Throughout the year he hosts international photography workshops in Europe and Asia for small groups. One-on-one programs are offered for those who prefer personalized instruction. He wanted to make his teachings available online to a larger audience because he knows that everyone can become a better photographer.
