About this event:
It’s all about time! In this 4 hour hands-on Superclass, international photo trainer and lighting wizard Dave Montizambert will show you how to speed-up the shooting and retouching process for portraiture. Dave will reveal lighting principles to reduce the need for facial retouching then starting with a live photo shoot, participants will photograph the model, then see how-to automate much of the retouching process with Actions. They will learn how-to create and use the latest trend in the high-end retouching community, Frequency Separation and toning. This technique will radically change the way they retouch in Photoshop and produce spectacular results. This technique sounds so technical and difficult but Dave, in his easy to understand style, makes it accessible for everyone, not just retouching geeks. Participants will quickly understand the procedure and will be able to instantly use it on their own photographs to produce magazine quality retouches.
