3/7/2018 0 Comments Photoshop 7 ~ Portrait DemoMy last Photoshop project involved a crash course in portrait photography. I was shown how studio lighting is generally set up, as well as how to mimic that effect with natural window lighting and a reflection sheet. My ultimate goal was to take two portraits, with both sides of the model's face properly exposed and her body properly positioned inside the frame (standing a bit in front of the background, head near the top edge, and shoulders stretching almost side-to-side). Finally, I constructed the black-and-white frame in Photoshop. Overall, this assignment was simple. My model and I got lucky with lighting (in a back stairwell, of all places), and the second photo was pulled from a previous portrait shoot. Inserting the frame was easy, as well. I opened a new canvas, adjusted its dimensions, painted it black, and inserted the two portraits on top. Then, I used the rectangle tool and a white paintbrush to create the portraits' individual frames. Finally, I added my name, arranged the layer stack, and voilà!
