The Magic of Compositing

There is a moment in every photographer’s life where they look at their work and they wonder, could this be something more? Did I really get what I envisioned from this?

Well, James Walters doesn’t look at an image afterwards… rather, he envisions what he is looking for before. And then he plays with his editing to achieve said image.

What James has found that others haven’t is the power of compositing.

But what is compositing?

Compositing allows you to create images utilizing various images and overlays. Essentially it gives you the ability to imagine an image in your head and then to go forward and actually execute.

James uses a variety of tools, most of them in Photoshop to achieve the gorgeousness of his images. He’s been gracious enough to agree to do a Facebook LIVE for our listeners on April 13th at 7pm EST. He’ll be taking an image and creating another from it.

One of the tools James said he can’t live without is Creative Market. He describes it as ‘etsy for creatives.’ You can find anything from stock photos to overlays there.

We hope you enjoy this episode and tune in for our LIVE in three weeks 🙂
