 A detailed tutorial how we did it is coming soon. Check our “E-Books” section.
We are working on our upcoming ebook (another ebook and video from latest masterclass will be available next week), and here I would like to show you the progress. It is not a regular “before and after” image, as before is not a one image, but a picture that showing what you can get from a set of the images using Photoshop and creativity. Now we (Alex and I) have a good grounding in techniques, so this is time for us become more creative. We will experiment with new devices, techniques, objects. Hope it will be very interesting time.   New ebook about how we made this photo will be ready very soon. Thank you for looking. Any feedback and suggestions are very welcome!
