Introduction

In the world of photography, the art of compositing stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities of imagination and digital manipulation. Composite photography is a technique that allows photographers to blend multiple images, often from different sources, into a single, cohesive narrative. This unique form of visual storytelling has gained popularity over the years, offering photographers a creative playground to bring their wildest ideas to life.

This is my process:

1. Conceptualization: Every composite image starts with a concept or an idea. This idea could be a surreal scene, or a fantasy world.

2. Gathering Assets: To create a composite image, I use a variety of source images. These can include background images, objects, and textures.

3. Photography: I capture subjects and elements using my camera, ensuring that lighting, perspective, and focus match the intended final image. Pay attention to details like shadows and reflections, as these will greatly influence the realism of the composite.

4. Post-Processing: This is where the magic happens. Using software like Adobe Photoshop, I layer the source images, meticulously blending them together.

5. Storytelling: The final composite tells a story.
