"This photo meets requirement 5: non-realistic photo combination. The top of the photo is my cousins dog and the bottom of the photo is my unsuspecting frinds torso. The image was mostly produced with liquify and healing tools. I first made the background of both photos black then just cropped them on top of eachother. To make them match up i used the liquify tool until the shoulders met. The right arm is still a little rough compared to the left, but the rest of the photo matched pretty well."

"Since I had the use of a tripod I slowed the exposure time to 1/8 then closed the aperture to f/10. Besides cropping out the edges of the photo I didn't photoshop anything else about the photo."

"In order to fix the issue of his black hair, I put a spotlight on the ground behind the bench he was sitting on and shone it upwards onto the background felt. There was alight with a a blue tinted filter providing the key light to the left of the photo which is where the slight shadows are coming from. There is also a light with a silver umbrella in fron of it set much further back on the right side of the photo."

"This photo meets requirement 1: Indoor traditional light portrait. The lighting for this shot took a while to set up because the background, his hair, and his shirt were all shades of black and I didn't want him to blend into the background."

"The flash was bright enough for me to close the aperture to f/8 and speed up the shutter speed to 1/250 which is much faster and wider than the settings for requirement one where I didn't use a flash at all. I didn't edit anything in photoshop."
