Portraits Demystified: Creating A Classic (But Stunning) Black And White Portrait!

In this class, I take you through all of the steps in creating this classic portrait of a beautiful lady called Pauline.

We take you through all of the steps we went through including:

• The client and the commission
• The planning
• The studio lighting
• The workflow
• The Post production – Photoshop retouching and creating the black and white in Nik Silver Effex Pro 2

This class is a bit of an experiment for us and we would LOVE to hear what you think.  Is it valuable deconstructing an image and showing all of the steps in this way?  Does it come across OK and are their useful tips and tricks in there?  Let us know so we can tune the classes we’re creating!
