Image 1
I had some difficulties with my composite images. My first image was a bit rushed and therefore lacked the required quality. My background image was a combination of two images of different exposures to create an even tonal range but my subject was too bright. The image tones were slightly off and I forgot to add a shadow! Woops! The overall image, particularly the lighting, isn’t very interesting so reshooting this task gave me the opportunity to advance on my concepts a bit more.

My second attempt is a more interesting concept than the previous and I attempted to work in some more interesting lighting in the studio. The colour tones match better and off course the shadow is now present!
