Photomontage for October 2010

COMPOSITES  | FROM JAPAN GARDEN

It’s been nearly six months since I’ve been on this post (I will be more diligent with my next posting to focus on 4th quarter goals).  I have some photography friends who want to make calendars for 2011 to send to their primary clients and they want use some of my work.   I don’t know where to begin and nothing seems be good enough so instead of a photograph I am considering making a photo montage of elements from some old and new photos that I have not use yet.

It has been years since I worked in Photoshop using many photos to make one photo montage of a concept or idea.

I will start rummaging through my files and use certain elements to add to a visual concept.  I will start contacting models to use in my photo montage and I will review my old journals and complete some of the “Story boards” that I began but never finish.

Yesterday, I shot some preliminary photos with a new model (model #801) and I think I have some ideas that I will use for an October calendar.  Here is the start up image I will work on the shadows, lighting and add in more elements soon.
