Hi, I’m Jessica Hatlen, founder of The Composite Academy and a passionate composite artist with a love for turning imagination into reality.
For years I’ve worked as the lead Graphic Artist for Meg Bitton Productions, creating surreal and storybook-style composites, tutorials, and asset kits that have helped thousands of photographers and digital artists bring their creative visions to life.
Now I’m branching out with The Composite Academy — my own dedicated platform for composite education. Here you’ll find high-quality asset packs, prompt libraries, Photoshop workflows, and in-depth tutorials designed to take you from beginner to confident creator.
Whether you’re just starting out with compositing or looking to master advanced techniques (especially blending AI-generated elements with traditional editing), I created this space to give you practical, step-by-step tools and inspiration.
My goal is simple: help you create faster, create better, and most importantly — have more fun making the art you love.
Welcome to the Academy, Cadet.
I can’t wait to see what you create.
