In the second installation of a series of video tutorials I am producing exclusively for Fstoppers, i attempt to simplify and demystify the Pen Tool. Although the pen tool can be quite confusing for first timers, it is one of the most useful tools in photoshop.
Many thanks to Pratik Naik of Solstice Retouch for even considering me for this feature. I find his work to be impeccable and something to aspire to in my own retouching.
We are excited to have photographer and retouch artist, Sean Armenta here with us! Sean has been an inspiration to so many people over the course of his current and evolving career. You may see more of Sean’s work at: http://www.seanarmenta.com/
Sean, good to have you with us! To…

FStoppers approached me late last year to produce a series of post production tutorials for them, and I am more than happy to oblige. Lee and Patrick have created such a wonderful site and resource in FStoppers and I urge anyone involved with photography or videography to join. They provide such a wealth of information for people of all levels.
These techniques I am sharing are the very same techniques that I use in my own work to produce the images that you see in my portfolio, and the ones I will be teaching at my workshops.
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing actress and singer Aly Michalka for Zooey Magazine last month. She was so fun to work with and really made my job easier by being quite open to just letting myself and my team create beautiful imagery around her. She has such a great energy about her and we ended up with some gorgeous photographs at the end of the day.
You can watch Aly every week on the CW show Hellcats, and in the upcoming thriller “The Roommate”. She also sings and writes music with her sister AJ as 78violet
Many thanks to Lyndzi Trang who continues to outdo herself - she pulled some amazing pieces for this shoot. I also need to thank my good friends Tiffany, Josh, and Phen Mas for the use of their space, STUDIO 22.
This is just a sneak peak at the cover, and I will be posting images from the entire shoot once the magazine hits the stands.
