Maggie's Runway

Hello!
For our second photoshop project I used three pictures, two from google and one of my friend Maggie. In this project I am trying to convey confidence through modeling. In order to do this, I used the photo below as my background



and placed a cut out picture of my friend over the original model. Her original picture can be seen below: 
The third picture I used was:

In order to use the model's body and her dress I copied and pasted the whole picture onto photoshop and then used a vector mask on the picture. Next, I used the eraser tool to erase the model's face letting the layer with Maggie's face show instead. Then, I attempted to make Maggie's skin tone match the model's by using color balance, making certain areas look more red. I also used the curves to brighten up the background.

This is how my final photoshop image looks: 
I am partially satisfied with my project because the picture turned out pretty well and I was able to fit Maggie's head perfectly on the model's body. However, there are some flaws where Maggie's skin tone and the model's skin tone do not match. Other than that I think the project turned out well. 

:) Hope you guys enjoyed it!

  1. I really like your final piece! I think it's very cool that you put your friend on the runway. Also, why did you brighten the background so much? And what tool did you use to to it—it looks very cool!

  2. Did Maggie just happen to pose like a model or did you tell her to? Your choice of pictures was great and nice concept! It would have been better if you photoshopped Maggie's head into someone else's to get a better hair style to match the dress. I really liked your use of Curves to make the center where Maggie is look brighter and the back, the audience, look darker.

  3. Awe, I think it is very cute. I know that Maggie left school and so I love that Maggie influenced to put in a wedding dress. It shows the future and how she is all grown up.
