making selections around the subject

Firstly I quickly mask ‘it out him by using pen tool. i always use a pen tool, and also prefer you use a pen tools when you are creating a path around the subject. Because with the Pen tool, you can do the selection more accurately, that you cannot do it with any other selection tools.

and there is a background which i use for this concept

when I insert the background with the subject, the background looks more brighter then the subject. so for the adjust the brightness, i create a curves adjustment layer, just above the background layer. and adjust the brightness of the background.

creating shadows

after that, i add some shadows around his shoes and chair. to create a shadow, I’m using regular soft brush.

then I brightened his skin. for that, i need the selection of his skin. to create selection of his skin I use color range. (menu bar-select-color range)

once your selection is active, go to the adjustment, and create a curves adjustment layer. and increase the brightness.

one thing that I don’t want to miss in this concept, which is the reflection on his sunglasses

first I make a selection around the sunglasses by using again pen tool. when the selection in active choose any solid color

So this is the image which i use for the sunglasses reflection, to Add his image into the sunglasses, bring the image just above the solid color adjustment layer

and clips into the solid color adjustment layer. then decrease the opacity, just a little bit

then i merge everything together by pressing (crtl+alt+shift+e). and now its time to retouch his skin. to retouch his skin select the mixer brush tool. round and soft one

to make the skin smooth, you can do some settings. once you do these settings on your mixer brush then slowly vibrate your brush into the skin.
