The Studio: Creating a quality composite group shot
You might think this sort of shot needs a large photography studio and expensive lighting rig... think again.
In this episode of 'The Studio', we bring you a tutorial on the whole process used to create this quality, group portrait. We cover the initial design stage, the photoshoot in my small studio space and the techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop needed to creating the final composite piece.
All the techniques used in Photoshop are non-destructive - I believe this is the best way to preserve maximum quality, and flexibility... at the expense of file-size of course.

I greatly appreciate the time and effort in this post. Not only step by step but the thinking prior to the shoot is often overlooked. Can you send a link to the free overlays?

Hi - thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it. Photoshop has almost unlimited capability, but you need to grasp the concepts of layers and masks and all the tools before you can start to unleash all that power. This is especially the case if you’re coming from Lightroom where the whole method of processing is totally different. There are two options to get this knowledge, depending on whether time or cost is the priority. If you want to save money, then ploughing through KZread tutorials will do the job eventually. If you want to ramp up more quickly then a workshop/training is the best way. I do run a one-day workshop (in one chunk or split up) via zoom on ‘all things Photoshop’ aimed at photographers. This would give you all the underlying concepts and once they were on board we could walk through this example which would suddenly make a lot more sense. If you’re interested in that head to the ‘About’ section and my email address is there. Thanks again for the message 👍🏼
Superb, but way beyond my current skills.

If you’re interested in a zoom workshop, I run a course called Photoshop Essentials which gives all the skills you need to ease into this sort of project. Give me a shout if interested nick@nickchurchphotography.co.uk
I found the music overpowering.

For a British person, you are having a hard time pronouncing "lasso" properly. There's only one "O" in there, mate.

No, it’s how we say Lasso in the UK. The English language is full of unusual quirks like this… Everyone in Australia pronounces it Lassoo too
