              Behind the Scenes Photographing an Imaginary Friend
              December 13, 2012

              Behind the Scenes Photographing an Imaginary Friend

              The guys over PHLEARN have a lot of cool content, and this is their most recent. The original idea for this photo shoot was inspired by childhood, drawing on references from stories such as “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak and the classic comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes.” The result is a playful look at the imagination of a child. Click the image below for the full resolution.

                Really cool shoot.

                The shadows from the lighting on the kid are off (Ambient light would’ve brought a different pattern) and the powerlines over the horns of Bakster were done in PP, looks really flat.

                I suck at composites though, so I don’t really have much room to talk.  

                The conceptual piece and how it was brought together to produce the final image is pretty awesome.

                I wonder if the photographer ever saw these famous ads by Mulberry.

                Does anyone know why there’s ghosting of the power lines in the top right corner?

                 If you zoom into the image you can see that those power lines were added.

                Also, almost all of the power or telephone lines have a shadow on them, as if there was another layer that was coming through and not properly aligned.  Those extra shadow lines also run across the monster’s face.
