You will start the course knowing Mario and his career as a visual artist. You will discover how he began to specialize in photo retouching and what made him deepen, for some time, in the creation of creative food compositions. He will tell you about what inspires him and what his artistic references are.

You will learn to look for references, which will be a great source of inspiration for you, and a starting point for the conceptualization process prior to creating the sketching of your compositions.

Then, with your sketch, you will decide if you use stock images or photographs your elements. In case you make your own photographs, Mario will show you the behind the scenes of his session, so you can see that good photos can be achieved using a very simple equipment, from home.

Once you have selected the photos, whether from stock or generated by you, you will retouch values ​​such as the hue or saturation of the elements to be highlighted in Camera Raw. You will digitally “make up” food and Mario will give you the keys to give them a professional advertising finish.

You will learn to trim the elements so that you can optimize the weight of your images or layers and thus work faster. You will also see what a script is , how to install it and how to make the clipping with it.

You will see how to create the document of your composition with a specific size, adding assets or actions, as layers. You will add a background to your composition, which you will touch up to get a little dimension and drama.

Mario will teach you to treat the splash (liquid splash) so you can trim or transform them with the help of the adjustment layers.

You will also learn to generate shadows and volume in the elements and create depth of field with blur filters. All this will help make your image look more realistic.
