Summary:
For this further installment of FotoTV Tech, Marc Ludwig has invited photographer Andre Brockschmidt and Photoshop artist, Ruben Schmidt of www.equipment-calender.com, to discuss the top-selling heavy construction equipment calendar, as well as demonstrate several Photoshop compositing techniques.
Brockschmidt gives us some very insightful information, including showing us some behind the scenes video on location while shooting under some very extreme conditions. Using up to 25 images per shot the calendar project had a budget of about EUR 100.000. The calendar has been a top-seller due to the extremely unique perspective showcasing large construction vehicles, on spectacular backdrops in a way we have never seen before.
In conclusion, Photoshop artist Schmidt demonstrates how he brings all the separate images together to compose one very impressive shot, which incidentally, can take up to three days to complete.
