This portrait was one of my first tests in doing a composite image where I took other small pictures and combined them into one image.
While we did put moss on Marinna, it was not nearly as much as what is shown here. Much of it was added in post production.
Also, do you see those little flower blossoms? Those were added in thanks to photoshop and my iPhone.
I wanted to create an idea of Spring.
I wanted to represent waking up after a long slumber and coming back to ones self.
With cold weather setting back in here in PA the idea of Spring is heartwarming.
Marinna, thank you for letting us cover you with cold earth, dirt, and cheese cloth in chilly October weather. You are a champion!!
Thanks to these women who are not only skilled with makeup and curling irons but can also make moss and bits of tree bark look magical:
