The little people

Photo montage realized for my studio class and my photoshop class:

I used this image as the base of the montage, shot from the top of the school:

Then, in the studio, I recreated the same lightning and shot little toys at the same angles on a “seamless” grey background:

Then, I had to integrate the little cars and the little man in the other image. The integration of all the elements was the most tedious and it took a couple of hours (and scrapped montages) to finally come to a pleasing result.

I’m pretty happy with the result of that assignment as it allowed me to explore and experiment in montages, construction of realities and integration of elements of different scales that give a slightly bizzare aspect to the image. I plan on exploring more in that vein and next time, add human scaled elements into a miniature environment.
