PHOTOGRAPHY

I Used a Leaf for Fairy Wings (Part Three)

Working with photos to create new pieces of art

Part three of my fairy journey with this little magical leaf I found on my walk at the park. When I saw this small, withered, stained leaf and picked it up from the ground, I thought this would make perfect wings.

An animal spirit represents each fairy’s energy throughout this collection, creating independent stories.

Fairy of the Parrots

Please note that as a starting point, I do these five steps for all of my Fairy projects:

1. Duplicate the original image of the model. (Save the original)

2. Use the neutral filter in Photoshop to change the person’s face to resemble a child-like look.

3. Use the face-aware liquify filter to make the eyes more prominent and the nose and the mouth smaller, like a doll’s face.

4. Remove the background with a layer mask from the models and the leaf pictures.

5. Place the leaf behind the model to create the wings, and modify the wings as needed.

Creating composites like this is a long process. However, I want to share the original images to show all the elements I used to create each composite.
