Imagine having access to as many studio spaces as you desire, rent free, any time. Imagine having every prop you’ve ever wanted to use, no matter how expensive, without having to store and care for them.
Imagine being able to give your client a photograph of them in the most exotic location with no airfare and travel fees.
With CGI, all things are possible. You can photograph your client in your living room and give them a photograph of themselves in a Vanity Fair style studio without ever leaving your home. No expensive travel, rent, or set building required.
Product photographers can even use or create products for their clients that can be changed, dressed, and reshot endlessly, securing their place in an industry that is using CGI more, and traditional photography less.

CGI for Photographers will build the solid foundation you need to understand Computer Generated Imagery and begin making worlds of your own. Taught by Dustin Valkema, a professional CGI artist who has managed full production crews in the commercial industry for years, you will get firsthand practical knowledge that will have you creating in no time.
If you learn CGI, you’ll never be held back by your budget, your access to travel, or your small home studio, ever again. Once you own a set or a prop, you have it to use forever. You can change your angle, light it any way you want, add or remove props, and change anything you like to suit the image you want to make. You can even set up the lighting to match a portrait you’ve already taken. With these photoreal sets and models, clients will never be able to tell the difference between what is real, and what you’ve created especially for them.
Photorealism is the name of the game, and our library of sets and props have been created by the best modelers and artists in the world to look exactly like their real-world counterparts. Every set, chair, backdrop, ladder, and light stand has been created with exacting detail. Even in a closeup, you’ll never be able to tell the difference. The only limit is your imagination.
An image maker who has the entire arsenal of creative tools at their disposal will always be in demand. In a rapidly changing industry, the ability to create whatever your client needs makes you a valuable asset. But more than that, the ability to create whatever YOU want means NOTHING can hold you back from becoming the artist you’ve always dreamed of being.
Dustin is our resident creative and teacher here at PRO EDU. He spent the better part of a decade as a senior team leader at a 3D agency producing work for some of the biggest clients and brand names in the world. Today he has joined forces with PRO EDU to begin to teach the limitless possibilites that can be acheived with 3D.

After the recap on Justin's best Lightroom tools, we begin a full breakdown and builds of RAW files, from start to finish. This tutorial isn't just color grading, he shows you every step. From initial lighting and story behind the image, all the way to the final colored versions in Lightroom.
There are no limits to what you can create in CGI. Need an interesting room? Make it! Need a special chair? No problem? Want to shoot in a regal castle? We got you. Once you understand the workflow, the only thing stopping you, is you. As you can see in the image above, everything but the woman is not real. The chair, the room, the light, all CGI.

In part 3 we are going to the Oscars. For the third part of CGI for photographers, we show the beginning stages of what's truly possible. Building a full 3D studio that you can work in with unlimited possibilities. That's right, an unreal replica of the famous photo studio from the 2019 Oscars concept from Mark Seliger. This is an homage to his work and is in no way affiliated with him, just an example of what you can do when you don't have the budget or means to build yourself an Oscars studio.
