Create a movie poster in the style of Riverdale - the Photoshop tutorial

Find out how the photos of model Kitty were created for further processing.

In this video, Gabor gives you an overview of his project - which image idea he wants to realize, how he has planned and organized the whole thing and which model he will work with for this image idea.

Be there when Gabor sets up his lighting setup for the outdoor shoot with you. He will explain the individual light shapers, their position and individual effects in order to create an exciting light for his model. Gabor will also work with different color foils to add a splash of color to the whole thing.

Once the light has been set up, the shoot can finally begin. Gabor photographs the kitty from various perspectives in order to achieve different visual effects.

After Gabor has decided on one of the latter motifs from the photo session, this raw file is first developed in Photoshop's Camera Raw. The aim is to develop an enormously colorful and high-contrast motif.

Gabor decides against intensive retouching for this motif, as it is not necessary here. In his eyes, the make-up and styling were good enough not to have to do much here. However, the focus is more on the background, which should be cleaned up a little.

Working with Dodge and Burn has many different benefits. In this video, Gabor will show you how to use light painting to remove stains from the face.

In this video, Gabor goes wild when painting with light to make the kitty subtly more three-dimensional. He uses a black brush to emphasize the dark tones and a white brush to "tickle" the highlights even more.

In this part, strong contrasts are subsequently and selectively painted into the picture. The shape of the kitty is modeled more brilliantly. Glossy areas are also emphasized more strongly in order to achieve a film-like image style.

The color of the motif is enhanced with a few simple steps. The main aim here is to remove color casts from the face in order to achieve a more uniform and harmonious motif. Gabor also shows you what he pays attention to when distributing color and how he gets a better grip on it.

The colored grazing light has the greatest effect for Gabor in this motif. But unfortunately, the colorful mood didn't come across everywhere during the shoot. Gabor explains why in this video. And even more importantly, Gabor shows you how to get the whole thing under control in Photoshop afterwards.

When taking the photos, Gabor was careful not to include too much stray light from the flash heads in the picture. Even though it looked great, Gabor decided to bring it in afterwards in Photoshop.

A few adjustment layers are needed to focus even more on the model. These should quickly and easily help to draw more attention to the kitty.

The motif is now moving towards the final stage. To give the whole thing a Schick finishing touch, the subject is made a little more painterly using the oil paint filter. Gabor also shows you how he uses the Camera Raw filter to add the finishing touches.

To give the whole thing a cinema poster style, Gabor will enhance the image with a few eye-catching fonts. Gabor shows how you can achieve an effect quickly and easily with the help of adjustment layers.
