What You’ll Learn In Compositing Masterclass?

Fundamentals

Let’s start at the beginning. Stanislav will teach you how to plan your composite, organise your file, create perfect masks and seamlessly blend together images from different sources. The most important part of this chapter is the theory behind compositing. Something that every retoucher needs, but very few really have.

Light & shadow

Having control over the light in your scene gives you control over the mood. In this chapter you’ll learn how to create artificial light sources, sculpt the scene with light and create realistic shadows. You’ll also get in-depth knowledge of underlying theory, so you’ll be able to re-create any scenario in your work.

Perspective

Perspective is essential when working on more demanding projects. Stanislav will teach you both the theory behind perspective as well as techniques to put together images shot from entirely different angles. This will allow you to work with complete freedom and never be constrained by source photos you have at your disposal.

Particle effects

Special effects are often used to add sense of drama or motion in professional composite workflow. You’ll learn how to craft realistic rain, fire or even add an explosion. These effects will help you blend different layers of your composite together, add depth as well as the dynamic element.
