Dream

Wow, is it me who wasn't much around lately, or are you showing your another side Aref? ;)
Greetings !

Hi Raf. It has been a long time. I wasn't much around here either. I don't know if this is another side of me--I have always been interested in surrealism and this is simply another step on this road of dreams and concepts. Thanks for the visit.

it's great seeing the ways this develops! go on!

Thank you Armando. Yes coming through the window and bigger than life :)

Great job with the special effect! Is the model's shadow added in post?

Thanks wdj. This was made using five different picture. The base picture had a darker strip and the model was placed there to use the dark strip to give the illusion of a shadow--the model picture had a slight shadow too and the blending enhanced it. The picture on the floor was actually this same picture without warped and adjusted for perspective and then used a drop shadow. The hardest part of all the process was applying the masks at various stages to make the whole picture look and feel "real".
