Green Screen Photography with Ben Shirk

Just what I needed, thank you, Ben! Short, concize, relevant, to just take it and run to the next project!

Course was a bit rushed and Ben seemed to skim over quite a lot of advanced techniques. Great for an overview of green screen compositing but not if you wanted to fully learn how to do it from start to finish. Ben's final image composites didn't really blend between subject and background compared to his highly polished work on his website.

Ben is an amazing photographer that is highly creative. Not sure this course fully reflects what his images convey to his clients. The course seemed rushed but did get to key basics for green screening. While typically I don't like when instructors promote their products, his extraction action is solid. Definitely worth the discount if you want to be able to systematically process volume. I think if you are beginning in composite photography that Joel Grimes and Ben Shirk can definitely give you the knowledge needed to be successful.

As l'm old school ie, film and processing through chemicals, photography has changed a lot, so the green room and how to light for the chosen template l found educational. I'm behind the times though with what you can do today.

Great course.

Liked this class! His action makes composites so much more effective and quick! Going to have to I vest in a green screen!

I am honestly desappointed. The main subject of the class was to work with the green screen, however when it goes to the part of extracting the subject, you have to buy his Photoshop action.

In this class I teach the first and most important thing when it comes to making good composites - lighting (both subject and green screen). This is not a photoshop class although I do give a quick demo at the end to illustrate my purpose of using green screen and the ease of adding a subject to a scene if they are lit correctly. The main purpose of using a green screen is because there are actions and plug-ins that make extracting super fast and easy. If you enjoy spending time manually extracting your subject then you can ignore the green screen part and shoot on any background as long as you remember the tips I give you for lighting your subject properly. Hope you enjoy!

Very creative and excellent information.

I really liked this course. Ben was very thorough in his presentation and his knowledge of shooting on green screen; he also presented options for shooting on green screen for those of us who do not have studio spaces.

LOVED this Ben!! Everything explained in great detail and easy to understand. Hoping to put what was learned today into action! Thanks Ben!

This class is a fantastic value for the money. Lots of little gems of information about the lighting and extraction make it well worth the price. Ben knows his stuff and explains it in a way that is easily understood.

Ben Shirk is for me the best in his field, a source of inspiration for years besides for 2 years I come to the WPPI to see it A mentor for me and these techniques are just magical and bluffing! Many thanks to him and creatrivelive for this course I had already buy his action PS for a few years :) and fully satisfied, this course is perfect to understand and master the technique
