Course reviews
“I attended the Macro to Micro course in Saint Petersburg, and it exceeded all my expectations. Carlos’s expertise and passion for dental photography were evident in every aspect of the course. The modules were meticulously organized, and the hands-on sessions allowed me to apply what I learned immediately. I particularly appreciated the focus on lighting techniques and the practical tips for capturing microtextures. This course has truly transformed the way I document cases in my practice, and I can’t thank Carlos enough for sharing his knowledge and insights with us.”
“As a participant in the Macro to Micro course held in Budapest, I can confidently say that it was a game-changer for me. Dr. Carlos Ayala’s expertise in dental photography is unparalleled, and his ability to convey complex concepts in a clear and engaging manner made the learning experience truly enjoyable. The practical sessions were incredibly informative, and I learned valuable techniques for capturing dental anatomy with precision. The course has equipped me with the skills and confidence to elevate the quality of my clinical documentation and communication with the laboratory. I highly recommend this course to any dental professional looking to enhance their photography skills.”
