Photo workshop portrait retouching

Since 2017 Yen T Do and Martin Podt have been working together on portrait photography. Yen and Martin developed their own workflow that they use for editing their portrait photos. The workflow can be combined with the workflow that Martin uses for editing his forest and landscape photos to create unique portraits and combinations of portrait and landscape.

This workshop consists of two parts. During the first part the basic portrait workflow for Photoshop will be explained and also the editing of some more complex examples will be demonstrated. During the second part you will be working on the editing of photos yourself with help of Yen and Martin. You can either bring your own photos or work on examples of Yen and Martin.
