I am glad to present our first e-videobook, "Mastering Splash":

This e-videobook is based on our “Mastering Splash” masterclass. It includes 4 hours of video from the class as well as  additional information about the the gear used and shot specification. The full version of e-book also includes a step-by-step post-production in Photoshop.

We call it a masterclass, not a workshop and there is a good reason for this. To me a ‘masterclass’ is a short, but powerful insider look at everything it takes to create a masterful photo.

This masterclass is different and unique from what you’ve seen before. I’ll show you how to create images that are true portfolio worthy masterpieces, not just an average “nice photo” you’d expect to see from a workshop. This masterclass will show you how to get the true WOW shot. The one that gets you hired.

You’ll learn how to create an outstanding photo, but you will also learn how to access your own remarkable vision so you can go home with the skills to create even more amazing imagery. To get a better idea what of technique you’ll learn in this class, you can take a look at the images below. I’ll show you how to create an AD shot of the real product “wrapped” by liquid splash. In other words, I’ll show you how we  utilize a splash to get a remarkable shot of the product. The shot you’d expect to see on a magazine cover.

Note: If you are looking for beginner’s guide or a tutorial on how to use your camera this video is not for you.
