PHOTOSHOP COMPOSITE AT CARNIVAL


My favorite image so far of this photo workshop in Venice is the composite I created
of a costumed model in a palace. I obtained special permission to bring our group into a 17th century palace for a two hour photo session, and unlike last year where I did some HDR, this time I photographed various paintings and wall panels for backgrounds. I cut and pasted one of them behind the model you see here, and I was very pleased by the result. I used the pen tool to carefully cut around the sofa and the model, taking extreme care (at 400% magnification) to cut around the feathers in the headdress. I think the lighting is especially interesting with the tungsten sconces on the wall and the main light coming from a large bank of leaded glass windows.
