Ever looked at a composite image and wondered how it’s done?
It might look complicated — but it all starts with a few simple steps.
✨ An example composite created using my own photos
In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how to turn your own photos into believable composites, even if you’ve never tried it before. Most people struggle when they first attempt composites — forcing photos together that don’t quite fit, ending up with cut-and-paste results. The secret is knowing how to choose images that work together and how to blend them seamlessly.
This session will walk you through the essential skills to avoid those frustrations — showing you how to select, prepare, and combine photos into a natural-looking composite image you can be proud of.
I know the struggle firsthand. When I first began, I thought I could just grab a favourite photo and create — but most of my shots weren’t suited. The light, the angles, the clutter all worked against me. After a lot of trial and error, I learned what really matters. That’s why I’m passionate about teaching this step — it will save you the same frustration and open up a whole new world of creativity.
Most people are used to learning from videos — but a live session is different.
Instead of watching passively, you’ll be able to ask questions as we go, get instant feedback, and learn from someone who’s spent over 10 years creating composites, troubleshooting mistakes, and finding what actually works.
It’s your chance to skip the frustration, ask questions as you go, and build confidence from the start
