They came to me when I stopped at the convenience store, asking if I wanted to have my
car windows washed in exchange for a donation to their cheerleading fund to send them
to the national championships. They are from my daughters’ high school (they all
graduated a few years back) and they are currently state champs so I was more than
willing to help them out…IF they would also let me take their photos.
This image is a collage of 4 distinct photographs. I used an existing lamp in a foyer of a hotel in Luray, Virginia during the reception for my daughter’s wedding in October of 2006. I simply took off the lampshade to get the light I wanted. Two of the images are of the Model, a front face view and a 3/4 face view that I collaged together in Photoshop. At the same time I took those photos I took photos of her butterfly tattoo and her necklace, among other things. I later layered those onto the collage I had already created and slowly but surely melded them on top of the face image. It took a long time!
Created using Photoshop CS3.
