I shot this image in my lounge at home.Time
I took all the shots I needed during the afternoon.Lighting
I used all natural light for this image.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 60D with an EFS 17-55mm f2.8 lensInspiration
I was inspired by Aaron Nace and Brooke Shaden. I am a huge fan of both - I regularly watch Aaron's tutorials on his Phlearn Youtube Channel, and love the fantasy images that Brooke produces. I really wanted to have a 'proper' go at something relatively ambitious - this was the result.Editing
Yes - lots and lots! The final image is made up of around 30 images. The camera was tripod mounted and locked off so that all images could be aligned and masked. "I" am made up 5 different shots - head/torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg. I held the blind in place then removed myself with masking and cloning. And most of the paper was either a small cluster of pieces in one shot, or just an individual shot. Then I colour graded the final composite to give is a more cinematic look - inspired by Joel Grimes.In my camera bag
24-70mm f4.0L series, 70-200mm f4.0L series, 17-55mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8. Canon 60D body.Feedback
You MUST lock off your tripod. It makes the post production a lot easier for compositing. Think big, think creatively, nothing is impossible - its just a problem to solve :-)
