Digital Rain, Digital Lightning and Wet-look GlamourSaturday 16th January 2010, 10.00am - 4.00pm Calumet, Unit 4 Downing Street Industrial Estate, Charlton Place, Manchester M12 6HH 

This one day training event will teach how to create wet-look glamour images and to add rain effects and lightning effects in Photoshop.

During the morning we will spend 2-3hours in the studio working with one or more models (depending on the number of photographers attending) to create the wet-look glamour images which will be the basis of our completed shots.  During this time you will learn how to set up the lights needed to create the effects.  You will learn some of the tricks employed to create wet-look images, including how to make the water droplets more visible, and how to control where the water goes. The session is a practical session and you will have plenty of opportunity to take photographs. 

Please note: due to the nature of some of the images and techniques being demonstrated at this event the model(s) will be posing topless for some of the shots.  If this is likely to cause offence please do not book to come on this course.

After lunch (which is included in the price of the course) we go into a tutorial session where you will be shown how to use Photoshop to add digital rain and digital lightning effects to the images we created during the morning session.  If you have a laptop with Photoshop on it you are welcome to bring it with you and follow the tutorials as we go through them.  Alternatively you can sit back, watch and then try out the techniques at your leisure at home.  Either way you will be provided with printed notes on how to achieve the effects and a CD with a video screencast showing you the steps for both digital rain and digital lightning.

The total cost of the course is £55 (including lunch).  Places on the course will be limited.  To book your place please send me a Net-Portfolio message.

Still a few places left on this workshop.  If you are interested please let me know.  I've uploaded an new image to my profile which shows Wendy Louise who will be modeling for us on Saturday.
