Photoshop Studio With Bert Monroy

by Bert Monroy

The Technique and Power of Creation "This is a book of techniques. They are the techniques that I have developed in the creation of my fine art. My art is considered photo-realism because the final product looks like a photograph. As a commercial illustrator, I am commissioned to create photographs of products or situations that can't be photographed with a camera. In most cases, the product does not yet exist. To achieve such a high level of realism, I have developed the techniques I share with you in this book. This does not imply that you will become a photo-realist painter, but you will find that many of these techniques can be applied to many of the imaging problems that can arise in the workflow of anyone involved with the use of images. They are also techniques that might inspire you to explore the outer reaches of your own creativity." --Bert Monroy

At the time I read this title I was a practicing pixel bender myself. My works were typically in the realm of composites of photographs and computer-generated content for client design presentations. My works were rarely pure Photoshop creations but this book still offered plenty of useful tips to add those finishing touches that add realism to a possible future creation.
