Dr. Miguel A Ortiz

How would I have wanted to be taught photography? That is the question that I asked myself when putting together this course. Do I want to learn only the trends of the moment or do I want to know how to use photography in every situation I encounter? The answer was simple. I want to learn PHOTOGRAPHY. Everyday photography, portrait photography, kids photography, landscape, still, macro and of course, dental photography. When you come to my course you will find a small group learning environment.

It starts with an introduction to the fundamentals of photography. Aperture, Shutter Speed, Depth of Field, Iso. We will learn their meaning, importance and how to utilize them in your camera and in our photography. We continue with the concepts of White Balance, Exposure Mode, Camera Metering and Exposure Compensation. It is at this point that we usually break into group sessions and hands-on practice. This is the only dental photography course in existence where you will have your own small group of 3-5 students with a dedicated shooting station. A model and make up artist are provided for each small group in most of my courses. I believe in you having plenty of time to practice everything that is learned in this course until you are satisfied. I make sure every person in the group has the time and support needed to understand and implement every concept. We will only move forward once you are comfortable. Nobody is left behind.

Once these concepts have personally been reviewed between you and me, we continue to build on our foundation. We touch on file types, use of histogram, macro photography, light sources and accessories.

With the camera in our hands and all the bases covered it is now time to turn our attention to dentistry. We will immerse ourselves into the full intra and extra oral photographic protocol. Then we will move onto portrait photography, artistic photography and laboratory photography. You and I will have the chance to utilize flashes, light boxes and all the fancy toys that I will have at your disposal. Once you are exhausted of taking photos, and I truly mean it, I won’t leave until you capture every shot you ever wanted. This will conclude a full day of everything I would have liked to learn in one day if I could go back in time

Dr. Ortiz’s one day hands on course covered all the basics for me on how to get started with dental photography. I direct messaged him asking about recommendations of what kind of camera to buy and to get set up. He was more than willing to help. Not only did he share those top recommendations but included links to buy at reasonable prices.
He talks about fundamentals of photography and even includes a lesson on taking shade. Highly recommend this course for anyone starting their dental photography journey.

I took many dental photography courses by now, USC, UCLA, and some more.
Every lecture focused on explaining the camera but lacked the hand on experience.
Not this one.
I was very please the lecture part of it first. It was put in a very simple language that is simple to understand and remember. Then it was the had on portion, smaller group of student with lots of hand on. Dr Ortiz dedicated his time to go over every shot and setting.
The course was very well organized and very well run. it had very positive energy and fun. it did not feel like ” just a lecture”
I am fascinated by Dr Ortiz, his journey and his passion in dentistry. I am planing to attend his Adhesive rehab and preparation course.

My only regret was not taking the course sooner…

I found out about Dr. Miguel Ortiz’s courses through co-residents and they invited me to take it with them but at the time I thought it was too expensive and didn’t give it a shot…

Fast forward a year into private practice, I was in a slump, kind of jaded of the same old routine with patients… Then I rediscovered the course through instagram and took it in Miami.

The course reinvigorated my love for Dentistry. Miguel became a role model, a mentor an inspiration really. My practice has never been the same. My patients now can see great photos of before and after cases, detailed pictures of the treatment I propose to them and treatment acceptance increased dramatically.

I only wish I had taken it before graduating. I go to work early in the morning looking forward to the cases I have and documenting them in the spectacular fashion that Dr. Ortiz teaches us in his photography course.

Thank you Dr. Ortiz, you changed my life as a Prosthodontist, made my practice more fun and profitable. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Excellent course, what liked me was that you don’t need to have knowledge about dental photography. Dr. Ortiz will teach you everything to master your pictures!

Excellent course. Very clear instruction on properly getting your camera settings right. I was really interested in learning the artistic portion of dental photography and was able to get great artistic photos by the end.
