Set the Scene: How to Build Fine Art Composites with Props and Set Design | Anya Anti
What if you could create elaborate, believable fine art composites without relying on stock images? Join award-winning fine art conceptual photographer Anya Anti and discover how thoughtful set design, simple props, and creative problem-solving can transform your photographs. Anya will share her process for planning and photographing physical elements specifically for a final composite, including how to match lighting, color, perspective, and scale. She'll then demonstrate how she brings everything together in Photoshop using masks, adjustment layers, blending techniques, and color correction. Through before-and-after examples and a live editing demonstration, you'll see how simple, separately photographed elements can become a cohesive finished work of art. You'll learn how to plan and photograph a set specifically for a final composite; match lighting, color, perspective, and scale for realistic results; use props as storytelling and compositing elements; and combine your own photographs in Photoshop using masks, adjustment layers, and blending techniques.
