Are you struggling to bring your photography visions to life? Are you looking to create soft dreamy backgrounds in your photographs? Do you ever have a hard time shooting in tight or "ugly" spaces? Do you feel restricted because you don't have that super expensive lens yet? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then this course is going to change the game for you!

A composite is created by combining two or more photographs to create one final image. By using composites you can create images that you normally wouldn't be able to with the power of editing software like Photoshop.

  • My exact method for shooting composites. 
  • My step by step editing process in Photoshop 
  • How to shoot in challenging locations 
  • How to turn an ugly location into something unrecognizable

  • My exact method for shooting composites. 
  • My step by step editing process in Photoshop 
  • How to shoot in challenging locations 
  • How to turn an ugly location into something unrecognizable 
  • How to achieve more of that soft background blur/bokeh

In this course I walk you through two shooting videos in which I show you exactly how I set up my subjects and shoot the surrounding area to create my composite. I then thoroughly detail each step of the compositing process in Photoshop for both photos from the shooting videos. There are also 4 additional editing videos for you to watch to further hone your compositing skills. 

Are you lacking clarity, creativity, or editing skills, in your photography?

Hi! I'm Ruth!

When I first began my photography journey over 13 years ago I struggled to create the images I saw in my mind's eye. Once I discovered composites, everything changed. I was able to create the images I craved and accomplish that soft background I had dreamed of.

Are you lacking clarity, creativity, or editing skills in your photography?

By following my step by step videos which clearly detail every part of my composite creating process from start to finish you will acquire the skills to confidently create your own beautiful composites.

How will i get there?

what am i realizing?

Once you get the hang of creating composites they become second nature. You are less confined by locations and have so much more freedom to shoot wherever you want because you now have the power to remove those obstacles. You are achieving more beautiful background blur than ever before! 

If you are unhappy with your current outdoor images and are struggling to create the vision you see so clearly in your mind, this course will help. If you are starting to feel like your gear is holding you back from creating the outdoor images you dream of composites can be your answer! 

where am I now?

Where do I want to be?

Creating outdoor images with a real wow factor. Feeling confident that you can shoot in an ugly location (like a parking lot) and turn in into something beautiful. Finally acheiving that soft, dreamy background with ease! And not letting tight spaces or obstacles determine where you can shoot. 

WHat dO I get when I buy the course?

“This course is so well done. Ruth teaches you her vision and how to capture and composite multiple images together to create a master piece. She gives enough information to learn but does not drag on. Her PDF is precise and to the point.I’ve always loved Ruth’s work. Her mom was an artist and you can see it in all the work she does. If you are looking to learn outdoor composites whether limited space or you want a more beautiful image, this is a perfect course. You will need to know basic photoshop editing skills. Thank you Ruth for sharing a piece of your talent and vision with everyone.”

I offer a 30 day money back guarantee on all my courses no questions asked! Just shoot me an email and I will send you a refund! 

What if I buy the course and it's not the right fit for me?

No you do not. In fact, when I first started using composites I only owned a 50mm and an 85 mm lens. Using those lenses is what drove me to start creating composites so I could achieve a more intensely blurred background. Then I was able to start creating more of the artistic visions I had in my mind. I often use my 35mm to create composites as well!

I see you frequently shoot with a 200mm lens. Do I need to have a lens like yours?

When walking you through my editing process in Photoshop I try to be as clear and detailed as possible showing exactly how I complete each step and which tools I use. Once you understand the overall concept it begins to flow easily. 

What if I am not comfortable working in Photoshop? 

frequently asked questions...

In some of the editing videos I use overlays that I have purchased on Etsy. All of which are inexpensive. I have provided you with all the links so that you don't have to hunt to find them yourself!

A detailed check list is included so that you never miss a step while your are out shooting. Just print it out and throw it in your camera bag!

I am including a free copy of my favorite sunflare overlay I have created. I use this overlay in many of my composite edits and provide instructions on how to use it in the editing videos!
