It is with utter delight that I announce the release of my latest video tutorial series, “Dramatic Portrait Compositing: From Capture to Completion.” I’ve never been this excited to launch anything!
Whether you’re familiar with compositing or you’ve always wanted to explore it, you’ll love this series because it reveals every secret you need to accomplish mind-blowing composites. Although the specific focus of this series is on creating a dramatic portrait composite using a studio-lit model and an edgy HDR background, the concepts covered here apply to every type of compositing, whether the subject is a person, a pencil, or anything in between.

Through precise control of light, color, texture, and atmospheric effects both in the studio and in Photoshop, it’s possible to craft scenes that would be nearly impossible to capture solely with a camera. This enlivening process has been the center of my creative ambitions for the past year and it is my goal during this series to share all that I’ve learned.
You’ll learn how to…
- Light and photograph a subject for compositing
- Capture a striking background
- Make accurate selections
- Use Photomatix Pro to stylize the background
- Merge the subject with the background by balancing light and color
- Add dramatic atmospheric effects that help sell the composite
- Finish the composite using Nik Color Efex Pro Complete
- Create the popular edgy look made famous by Joel Grimes
I hope you decide to join me for this exhilarating ride!
