Our current Fstoppers Photographer of the Month, Felix Hernandez, recently shared a simple and easy, but highly effective technique for compositing objects into different images and transferring textures and shadows along with them.
If you haven't yet checked out Hernandez's work on Fstoppers, I highly recommend taking a look at his profile here. His composite work shows a strong technical mastery and highly creative eye for storytelling, while his methods are often quite clever, as is the one below. Flour is an interesting substance; it's of uniform color, and it's relatively dense and will fracture easily without falling apart immediately, making it ideal for creating images of objects "breaking into" materials. For example, in the image below, Hernandez wanted a coffee mug that had broken a road surface.
