Photography Composition Masterclass by Amanda Diaz is a comprehensive course designed to teach the art of creating stunning photo composites from start to finish.
Learn the art of creating beautiful composites with in depth techniques and instructions from start to finish. We will start with the initial shoot and go into using positioning and arrangement in Photoshop.
In this course, I will show you how easy it is to create beautiful yet straightforward photo composites from start to finish.
Sharing how I plan and create multiple looks and concepts with the same model all in one day. I also talk about camera settings, using a tripod or not, unpredictable lighting and examples of how to work with or without a team.
The course includes the necessary files to follow me in Photoshop, step by step as we put it all together, making a couple of fun composites, and a bonus “watch me edit” video.
