Yesterday was another lesson in our photo-school of the second course of studies. The topic was "Creating complex images in studio photography". Roman Bolshakov (http://advokatstudio.deviantart.com), as he is a tutor and mentor in this school, asked me to capture the first photo in order to demonstrate students how to use light and properties. The topic of photosession was called "Amphitrite" (a sea-goddess and wife of Poseidon). Roman Bolshakov created the properties, make up and body-art and I made a photo/post-production :) Actually, the only part of this photo which can be called "a collage" is a sets of bubbles. All other manipulations

October 23 there was a masterclass of our creative team in our studioю Roman Bolshakov (http://advokatstudio.deviantart.com/) as a presenter demonstrated how to create necessary properties, décor, etc. I demostrated use of the studio-lighting to draw a necessary picture: You also can watch a backstage-video about this masterclass on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/31138418
