Creeper Montage

Everyone knows what a creeper is. It is that old guy that sits back and stares at teenage girls, the guy who ends up in that picture with you and your friends at the bar and you don't know who he is, and the guy that you see four or five times at the mall and he seems to always be looking at you.

I am doing a photography series on "creeper."

I made up a costume of my idea of a creeper, and made my photography classmate James dress up. Here is a several photo panarama of an underground parking garage that I stitched together and then maskied in a bunch of creepers. We did studio lighting of the creeper in the parking garage with 2 strobes with umbrellas, then I masked him into the environment. Notice the shadows and color levels i added. The underground parking garage we lit up with strobes. Pretty intense stuff, never shot that huge on location before. Also the entire right wall was created in vanishing point, which is the perspective tool under the filters bar in Photoshop.

I really tried to pay attention to the lighting in the environment, and the shadows and highlights cast by the lights.

I hope you all like it!

Photography: 3 hours
Photoshop: 3.5 hours

Total: 6.5 hours (all in one day!)

Thanks to James for helping me with the lighting and everything!
