The course takes you through the workflow of putting together the above photo composite. I was inspired by a similar composite I saw on Pinterest and decided to do my own take on it. After finding a model who had some of the elven features commonly associated with fairies, I did a photoshoot of her with the final composite in mind. I knew she’d be in a jar, sitting on something. I also knew I wanted her lit from both sides.
After taking the model photo, I did another shoot for the background. Lit with two LED light sticks and the candles, I did numerous shots of the background. Only when I was compositing did I see the composition would have been better with a foreground candle—fortunately Photoshop came to the rescue.
