First PAPC Photo Shoot

Today is the first activity initiated by the PCCI Alumni Photo Club. Once you have taken the Basic Photography Workshop at PCCI, you are automatically a member of this club.


This is definitely a fun and learning activity. Each participant is given three to five minutes to take images of the model, directing them, etc. Before a shoot starts, we draw lots as to who would be the "lead" photographer. The lead photographer alone has the trigger. The rest can take pictures using available light and must not block the lead photographer's work area.

We had three models to pose for us: Steffi, Alex (the son of the Nigerian Ambassador) and Trixie.



While waiting for the photo shoot, somebody shared tips on Photoshop.

a) To smoothen wrinkles or remove skin imperfections...
* Duplicate image
* Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
* Layer>Layer Mask>Hide All
* Use brush with white as color to reveal the nicer textured skin

b) To provide color (like blush)
* Duplicate image
* Create new layer
* Use brush with red (or whatever color) to paint on
* Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
* In the layer panel, choose Soft Light and adjust the opacity
