A master’s work is it’s own reward.,
Mark’s insight as both a creative photographer and Photoshop trainer are very evident in this book. It’s a “must have” for any professional wedding or portrait photographer or anyone that wants to “push the envelope” of creative album design. Why settle for ordinary when extraordinary is easily within reach?
Having seen Mark’s work first hand gave me a much deeper appreciation for the thought that went into this book. Mark will teach you how to show off the best of your photographs with embellishments that will “WOW” your customers, friends and family. His techniques are direct and timeless. He also shows what pitfalls and common mistakes to avoid when designing an album. Something that will save the price of the book many times over!
Well done Mr. Chen!

Mark Chen demonstrates an advanced masking technique that turns a bride and groom’s holding hands image into the galactic background of an album page. This demo provides a glimpse into the artistic and teaching style of the author.

|Pushing the envelope,
Any book with the word “Creative” in the title should stimulate the readers’ imagination so that the reader’s own creative juices begin to flow. This book does a very good job of that. The author gets you thinking of what you need to do before shooting so that your creative process, when the shooting is over and the design begins, is fully supported by an array of excellent shots and some that need help. That help comes in the form of mastering Adobe Photoshop. The projects in the book go a long way towards mastering Photoshop techniques. Mastering the Photoshop techniques also helps the design process by enlarging the envelope of possibilities. The examples presented in this book push the envelope!
Whether you have an album design in mind before you shoot or you let your shots determine the eventual album design; the tips and techniques presented here will greatly assist you.
