Architecture with a fine art look

In 4.5 hours with 14 video lessons, your trainer Tobias Gawrisch will show you his approach. As he hasn't worked with the example photo beforehand, you follow his train of thought from the very beginning - "There's a photo. What is there to do?" - the starting point for your learning experience.

After the raw processing, the photo is first cleaned up and corrected for distracting image elements. You adjust the contrast, edit the sky and clouds, carry out the black and white conversion and then create a convincing and coherent fine art image with corrections, light effects, gradation curves and dodge & burn.

So that you don't just sit waiting in front of your screen, you will receive the image the trainer is working on as a raw and PSD file. This allows you to follow every step in practice.
