10 Photoshop Masters

abduzeedo - 04/04/2007

I've been working with Photoshop for some time now. I really like the software and what can be achieved using it. What amazes me more is the quality of works that were done using it. There are people who really know how to push the boundaries of the tool and produce astonishing pieces of work. It is exactly those people, whom have inspired me that i want to list in this post.

1 - Adhemas Batista (Brazil) - http://www.adhemas.com/

2 - Bert Monroy (USA) - http://www.bertmonroy.com/

3 - Derel Lea (Canada) - http://www.dereklea.com/

4 - Eduardo Recife (Brazil) - http://www.eduardorecife.com/

5 - Ian Keltie (U.K) - http://www.iankeltie.com/

6 - Joan Charmant - http://www.joancharmant.com/

7 - Joshua M. Smith - http://www.hydro74.com/

8 - Justin M. Maller (Australia) - http://www.superlover.com.au/

9 - Nik Ainley (U.K) - http://www.shinybinary.com/

10 - Scott Hansen (USA) - http://www.iso50.com/

The REAL Photoshop Masters. Cool stuff. High level imagination

I like the 20 20 vision design. If you will look on it its simple but very detailed. I like the colors it's not that catching but it's a one of a kind.

But Bert Monroy really rocks !!

Pedro (not verified) 03/10/2008

hmmm...not sure

I think the only photoshop masters here really are Scott Hansen, Joshua M. Smith, and Bert Monroy. They know when to stop, they know how to really use photoshop subtlety and with purpose.

The rest seem to produce work that belongs to a student who has got so excited over his first copy of photoshop and the range of photoshop filters and effects, that he has tried to use every single one of them.

Surely a photoshop master is one who not only knows it inside out, but more importantly knows how use it effectively and efficiently in order to produce carefully considered creative output, right?

You should do more research. Craig Mullins (www.goodbrush.com) should definitely be high on this list. He is a true photoshop master.

Caraca. Encontrar no Digg, um designer gaúcho é uma baita coincidência.

E ótima aliás, já que teu blog é muito bom, meu. Já 'tá adicionado aos favoritos.

Quanto as tuas referências, eu conhecia boa parte delas. Sem dúvida, os melhores são o Batista, o Shiny e o Iso50.

São referências pra todo designer que se preze, acho eu.

Abraço.

Nik Ainley uses a different program to make the 3D things and then exports them to photoshop I like his works too, but if I had a choice I'd choose Justin Maller or Joan Charmant

These are good designers but they are by no means doing anything to stretch the use of photoshop, with the exception of burt monroy (whose work i dislke for some reason) and joan charmant. They have a great sense of design, but you say photoshop masters. I know many who are great designers but would not qualify as photoshop masters. Some of em use illustrator mostly like ademas

Anonymous (not verified) 04/04/2007

They are all awesome. My favourite though has to be Nik Ainley.
