Shoot 2
Plan
I plan to take multiple portrait photos of people with them looking in different directions and I plan to edit them by making the faces look like masks, I also want to see if I can photoshop the "mask" onto the backs of the models.Photographer research

Editing Process
AO3
The idea of my shoot was to take portrait photos of multiple people, facing different directions. I then wanted to digitally edit these photos similarly to indepenspense by Guiseppe Mistromatteo, as i was heavily inspired by his work. I wanted to edit the faces to look like they're wearing masks and for the photo with the girl's hand over her face, I wanted to edit it with some of her facial features on top of her hand.
