In this intense one-day workshop we will cover beauty photography and high end retouching. You will get to know how Lara shoots her beauty images, what angles to use, the best camera settings and equipment for beauty photography and different lighting setups using one or two lights.
After the shooting part, she will lead you through her retouching workflow. First of all, she will explain how she processes and prepares her pictures in Capture One, before exporting the files to Photoshop. Then she will show you the important settings and tools in Photoshop (brush settings, clone stamp tool, healing brush etc.) and the magic of high end retouching: dodge & burn. You will get a deep insight to skin retouching – how to use the healing brush and the clone stamp tool the right way, without overdoing the retouching. We will also take care of color correction and how to color grade the image – so you will have an impression on how Lara creates her significant color look.
