In this "Tuesdays with Lauri"-video we take a behind-the-scenes look at my recent photoshoot that I organised in London. We talk about creating a composite image in Photoshop, as well as take a quick look at the lighting I used in this photograph.

PHOTOSHOP PART I

Now we concentrate on cutting out a person from a white background, and making sure that they blend in with the new backdrop.

PHOTOSHOP PART II

In this video Lauri Laukkanen retouches out model's skin and add the crows into the image.

PHOTOSHOP PART III

We will colour-grade the photo using the Curves Adjustment Panel, create a natural looking vignette with the lasso-tool, introduce the "iris-blur" and add some noise in select areas of the image.
