Want to up your game with client work, image competition and PPA's Merit Image Review?

This program is designed to help photographers do just that! Kristy Steeves, who is a PPA Master Photographer and Master Artist, will go step-by-step to show you how she created an international award winning image from scratch. It involves an elephant walking on a tightrope, over a canyon, while carrying a bunch of animals stacked up on its back and clinging to its legs.

This workshop will be an all-day, hands-on learning experience where you will be working with individual images, putting them together and then creating light direction and shadows, along with blending in several environmental backgrounds. Multiple Photoshop tools will be used for compositing and manipulating the animals' body parts along with brushes to paint in fur and create catchlights in the eyes. All of the techniques you will learn from this program can help enhance your client work, from people to pets, wildlife and commercial images as well.

Skill Level: Intermediate Photoshop knowledge. Must understand layers/masks and basic tools that are on the tool bar.
