Join Matthew Jordan Smith for a LIVE ONLINE workshop as he delves into three days dedicated to fashion and beauty photography. Matthew starts off with an in-depth discussion on the differences in fashion and beauty as he teaches us how to prepare for a series of live photoshoots on the following days with a focus on capturing beautiful photography and telling a story with your images.

In this workshop Jeff Foster — video producer, compositor, visual effects artist, and author of "The Green Screen Handbook" — teaches you the advanced tips, tricks, and workflow techniques he’s used over the years to get great video/film composites, even when working with near-impossible footage.
You?ll learn advanced roto-painting techniques for the Wacom tablet and you?ll get up to speed on motion tracking, multipass mattes, multiple keying layers, simulated lighting effects, painting on video background plates, and more. Then you’ll apply what you?ve learned to a series of real-world projects in After Effects.

In early 2011, production began on The Art Behind The Headshot. With the Fstoppers crew behind the cameras, we set out to make the most comprehensive tutorial ever created on headshot photography. This time around not only would I focus on my trademark high key white background and soft beauty lighting, but I would also share intimate details about what I consider my real photography secret: a keen understanding of the human face and the ability to coach people into interesting looks day in and day out.
