About the Image(s)
Everyone’s images inspired me to create a new composite last week. I haven’t done any composites for 10 years or more. Thank you!
My process is all over the place, and this is one of many iterations. I decided on a simple gradated background to make the subject clear. She is supported by the chorus of flowers.
I started with calla, then added the subject, jumped around in blending modes for a while until she felt wrapped in the calla. Added the supporting flowers. To somewhat obscure the model’s face, I added an additional calla. Lastly, I added some light rays and some fog atmosphere.
I’d love to hear any thoughts. I'm self-taught and still learning.
