One of my favorite quotes is "I feel as though I hold the whole world in my hands" and I created this composite based off of that. First, I started with the background photo of the sunset that I took at oceanside harbor, then I had my friend Samantha Potter hold a handful of dirt so I could stand between her arms and get the first person perspective. Then I had her also hold a small yellow flower so I could get a shot of it without too much in the background. Then the picture of the birds and the butterfly are from google. I first started in photoshop with the sunset picture and then used the file-placed embedded and selected the photo of Sam's hands and then used the quick selection tool to select the background and press option-layer mask so get it out of the way. Then I added the picture of the small yellow flower and also used the quick selection tool to select the background to get it out of the way to create the illusion of the flower growing out of the pile of dirt in her hands. Then I raised the brightness and saturation of the flower to make it look even prettier and stand out more, then I repeated the same process with the google image of the butterfly so I could place it on top of the flower. Then I used a basic black silhouette photo of flying seagulls in the background to give it more of a beachy vibe to it. I really love how my project turned out and Brooke Shaden's work was a huge inspiration with her abstract photos and color scheme.
