Today i like to show you a “Making of…” Video of my trip to dubai.

I was there for 5 days to teach photography and retouching.

It was an amazing time and thank you Ali for the organisation.

Soon i will post some pictures here and maybe some tutorials too.

So stay tuned and dont forget to check my blog daily:-)

Have fun with the Video

On the Top i have the entry "post more on your englisch Blog, Calvin"

I was really busy the last weeks with some dvd productions, podcasts, photography jobs and workshops. 

But now i like to not less then one post each week.

My next post will be a "Photoshop Video Tutorial", so watch out. 

Heres a pic from dubai what i was taken out of the window (big thanks to ali for showing me that place)

The picture is not much retouched (maybe 10 min) 
It was a very clean night and the picture was done without a tripod. 

I was pressing the cam agains the wall. 

Here are the settings

• Canon 5 D 
• 24 mm (24-105 mm / 4.0)
• Iso 125
• F 4.0
• 4 sek.

Many people worked hard to release this “Photoshop-Training”.

More then 4 hours of my best photoshop techniques are on this training.

Its a very exciting moment for me, cause thats my first production in english language.

But i am very sure that you find many new techniques what you didnt saw before.

Here are some examples of the training

And the trailer to the training

Please feel free to let me know how do you like the training.

If you have questions to the tutorials on the training, just write me an email.

When you like the training it would be great when you will talk about the training on other places/forum/communitys.

Packed with over four hours of engaging content, this video workshop presents the best of Calvin Hollywood’s creative work from the past years. Ranging from special retouching techniques to creating unique looks, Calvin teaches you everything to make your photos stand out from the crowd. Don’t just take our word for it, though. Watch for yourself!

Here’s what you would miss if you should decide not to attend this workshop: Calvin starts with the nuts and bolts of image editing in Photoshop, including working with layers, masks, color correction and RAW conversion. When you are ready for the next level, he tackles beauty retouching, one of the most fascinating disciplines in image editing. Then he deals with the main issues about compositions, i.e. extracting individual parts and maintaining authenticity of the background. He goes on to show you why looks is everything in photography, opening his bag of tricks along the way. Next on Calvin’s list is the broad range of effects Photoshop offers to enhance your image in any way you can think of, but without overdoing things.

Enough has been said now. It’s time to get „calvinized“!

I am so sorry…. i made a big mistake. 

I talked about releasing a DVD Tutorial about my best photoshop techniques. 

Thats not true and i like to say sorry. 

I am not releasing a DVD where i explain my photoshop techniques. 

I feel bad about that. 

Sorry …..

I am releasing a "Onlinetraining" (more than 4 hours) about my best photoshop techniques:-)))

A DVD is something what you can hold in your hand. 

But my Training is something what you have to download. 

Of cause you can burn a own DVD with all the techniques, but i do not send you a DVD.
