I’ve had an idea for awhile… to create whimsical, colorful wall art for my clients incorporating the things they love most: their pets, their house, and items that mean something to them. Here’s an example of my concept, taken apart so you can see how I create the artistic photo, otherwise know as a composite.
First I start by taking a photo of the house:
Then I photograph the pet:
I also photograph some of the client’s favorite items plus other things that match a color scheme:
Once I have all the photos for the composite, I begin putting them together using Photoshop:
I add the pet, plus more items and details:
I’m in the process of ordering a large version of this to display in my home. Can’t wait to hang it!
In this particular instance, and since it was about my family, I took the concept a bit further and created a holiday card.
I took individual family photos:
Then I added each family member where I thought they would fit best. Of course I took the photos with an idea in mind of where they would be placed in the composite. I added shadowing so the fantastical/unreal photo would have a realistic quality:
And since I used our photo for a holiday card, I added text:
If you would like your own unique, personally created wall art to hang in your home, let me know!
Happy New Year!!
