daylight, tinfoil and mt face...
This photo has been digitally retouched.
This is two photographs that I took in succession. One was a bunch of tinfoil just kind of wrapped around a lamp into a shape. The second was of my face. I was placed next to my sitting room window , which provided a constant light to illuminate each photo in the same way. I then uploaded them onto the old mac and using photoshop, placed my face over the tinfoil. Next was the slow but fun procedure of carefully rubbing out certain areas of my face to reveal the image from below. The use of the dodge and burn tools to help shade the layer below helped drastically in making the two feel on the same plain. I then fixed up the colour and way I wanted it to look and blacked out the background. The key to this image is setting up the original photos as accurately as possible and a really big bag of patience. For me this is never a problem because I love to get affective results, so if it takes until dawn to get right... I'm happy.
