This assignment really made me stretch out, and I totally loved trying to get a vision in my head onto a canvas. This made me want to do composites forever. The pieces of this work were photographed at the Tampa Club, in their wine locker. Further, the “centerpiece” was shot separately in the Tampa Club’s first-floor lounge. Three wardrobe changes and camera position changes later, this was assembled in Photoshop with lots of layer masks. After assembly I realized that my composition could have been much better – too much emphasis on the room…I was swept up in the space. But I did learn a lot about composition, which would come in to play in later assignments.
And yes, it’s all the same one person.
