Stedman! ♪♫'s photostream

Photo five. This one probably took the longest. I did almost this entire picture using dodge and burn, and I probably could have done it waaaaay easier with masks. Oh well.

This is also the only picture of the bunch where I shot more than one person in the same shot, still masking it on top of the source picture though.

For some reason flickr won't let me view this picture large in the lightbox, so view it on black.

Photo four. This one's (hopefully) pretty self explanatory. I think Katie's expression really built this photo. :)

Photo three. This one I wanted to leave open to interpretation as much as possible but, to me at least, it screams Should I Stay Or Should I Go. Oh well. I went a different direction with this one, using only two subjects and playing around with depth of field. I think it turned out quite well.

Photo two of the set. This is a similar concept, but I have two of each of the actors in the frame. I wanted to show a frozen moment at a party: that time around dusk when everyone's had their first drink and they've finally loosened up enough to start to have a really good time.

And there's always one guy standing in the distance flipping everybody off.

The first from the project, this one was created using over twenty separate photos. I tried for the feel of one of those Sopranos promotional spreads. It should be noted that at no time did I take a picture of more than one person at once.
