Studio Portraits II

Here are some of my favorites from my Studio Portraits II class....

Hustlin Composites

A deliverable for one of my photoshop classes, was creating a composite.  This consisted of taking a photograph of an "environment", shooting something in the studio using the same lighting as the environment, and then putting them together so you have minimal post-production work to do.

"Environment" shot - one night, I decided to walk down Baltimore Street where the strip clubs are

Studio shot - attempting to replicate the light from the environment shot

Final Composite - the hardest part was the mask, but after that just threw on a curves layer and made a soft shadow

Behind the Scenes

Here are a few photos of what a typical class is like when we aren't in front of the computer....these are from the Intro to Light module..
