My recent backdrop efforts have garnered a bit of attention over at the Valley Local FB group, so I figured it'd be a good idea to put all the info on my process here in one place.
Here are the Cliff's Notes:
- I take pictures with my iPhone of various landscapes and other subjects I think would make good backdrop fodder - usually shooting in the actual areas that I'm modeling.
- I also use historic photos (again, preferably from my area and era) and colorize them.
- Combine it all using Photoshop Elements.
- Print as a banner at my local Staples.
- Attach to the masonite using wallpaper adhesive.

That's about as good as it gets with blending the backdrop to the foreground scenery.
ReplyDeleteThanks much! Yeah, this is the one that's most finished with blending and such. Unfortunately, all of the others still need blending - all in good time :^)
