Here, Mike has retouched an already pretty
good provided photo (left). Then Mike placed her in a seamless,
but completely "invented" environment. The middle ground
was created from items Mike had in his studio, a column, a table
lamp, and lace curtains. Mike scanned-in photos of; a wood floor,
a window and an outdoor scene for the scene behind the curtains.
(The walls are merely painted in with flat colors.) It creates
a totally believable, homogenous scene which would cost hundreds
if not thousands of dollars to stage. Also note that the feather
directon has been reversed to point back to model's face. |
