Own the Light!
a perfect composite image requires a precise balance of art and science—and that’s exactly what we’re exploring in our 3-day workshop this June in Colorado Springs!
Join us as we break down the technical details and artistic techniques behind creating seamless, storytelling composites. From the physics of light to the magic of imagination—we’re covering it all.
Jeff Jackson help us understand the science behind the art, while Shannon breaks down how to bring it to life in Photoshop.
