St. Nick's Composite
Dec 4, 2020 19:07:35 #
We bring out St Nick every year to display and sometimes photograph. In the past it was just a simple shot of him in front of the tree. This year I decided to do something a bit different. First thing I did was to go onto Pixaby.com and see what was available in a snow scene. I found this one shot and offered by Kordula Vahle • Wendeburg,Germany.
Next I wanted to get the same angle of light when I shot St Nick. I got the proper light using a strobe with strip box and a second strobe with 24" defuser. I liked the results and then decided to add my own face in the St Nick Doll.

I am viewing this on an IPAD. I blew it up quite a bit and could find nothing to indicate this is a composite. Really well done.

Very artfully done. Kudos - smart work. Way beyond my current skill-set in photomanipulation. Keep up the great work and stay well.

Very nice edit. I think you nailed that shadow which always a difficult part to get right when doing compositing. Do you have more composites that you have done? I would love to see them.
