Behind the Scenes

In this short example I will show you the process of taking multiple photos and creating one stunning piece of art.

Step 1: Extract the subject from a photo. In this case I'm using a model I shot on a plain white background.

Step 2: Add the subject and other items you want to include into the background. I regularly buy and use images from Adobe Stock. The birds are from Deviant Art. At this point I'm not too concerned with blending the images.

Step 3: Add shadows and depth to the images to turn them into more believable objects and not so "placed". Pay close attention to your light source.

Step 4: I added a sun flare to this image for a dramatic effect. To finish it, I always add a matte.
