Aircraft Carrier Destroyer


Composited shot, the clouds, tie fighter, lasers, x wing, and star destroyer are all added as different layers. This was also my first experiment with adding shadows (the one cast from the Destroyer).

For Humans Only Caution Sign

First use of compositing into my own images. The original background was shot in the French countryside, the sign decals were painted over and replaced. The lighting on the ship was important to me as well, however I cannot tell if I prefer the image to have more atmospheric perspective or keep it as is.

Mario Landscape


One of the first landscapes I attempted in photoshop. I experimented with different brushes trying to create unique textures within the ground as well as bricks. 

"No Dumping"


First composite. Messed around with the selection tools in order to separate layers and switch colors.

"Store Wars"


One of my first composites. Experimentation with the different skews and perspective tools. Not very accurate sizing but I gained more experience with multiple composited shots.

"Lines and Angles"


First experimentation with the different photoshop filters. I used an original shot I took of the Louvre in France and the glowing edges filter. I liked the look of the clouds as a result of this particular filter.
