After the shooting is before the composing. For all photographers whose work isn’t completed after switching off the flash, Thomas Adorff and Stefan Thiel offer a full day workshop that combines shooting and photoshop postproduction.

The adorable model Loonacat will be transformed into a cyberwarrior of the next millennium by the professional make-up artist Claudia Heinzelman (references: “Equilibrium“, ” Resident evil 1“, “Enemy at the gates“). Futuristic implants, neuronal data links and heavy firearms are going to create a feeling of Hollywood at the photostudio.

In the first part of the workshop at the Mietstudio Karlsruhe each participant has enough time to work out his own posing ideas with the model. Photostudiobasics, like lightsetups and working with the model, will also be shown so that first-time studiousers can catch-up easily. The photos of this shootingsession are the raw material for the composing with Photoshop in the second part.

After the lunch break (included with the price) the second part of the workshop will be held in nearby conferencerooms. With the help of the technics used for the Shadowrun-calendar of Thomas Adorff, the participants will be introduced step-by-step into the Photoshop postproduction and composing.

Via beamer the steps that are essential for a professional composing will be shown, e.g. beauty retouching, inserting of backgrounds and the creation of an individual look. After each step the participants have enough time to use the shown technics on their own photos, help by the tutors will be available.

The day will end with the presentation and discussion of all works.
