My Final Self Portrait Concept

The idea for my last concept came by itself. I was drawing sketches on my notebook and accidentally drew wrong size men. I looked up on internet how many photographers do the same thing. As my inspiration I choose Joel Robison. He has awesome works. I would say that now he is one of my favourite photographers and Photoshop artists.

As my location and background I choose the forest. I love the colours and textures you can find there. Secondly, it is easy to manipulate with shadows and sizes. We know how large are leaves and a bark so we can think quickly about the actual scene's dimensions.

I  used wide angle lens to show as much as possible around me. It also gives nice depth of field. Fast shutter speed and low ISO gave me really good quality of image. The actual image is combined from two pictures. For both picture - landscape and myself I used the same camera settings and lighting source.

In post -production I used Lightroom to quickly look at my RAW and to select the final ones. For blending images together I used Layer Mask and a little bit of digital noise so it looks more natural.

About the idea. Throughout history, human beings have struggled to achieve control over nature. And now when we have so advanced technologies and medicine we believe more about controlling nature. My images shows that we are not so big as we imagine. Nature doesn't need people. People need nature.  Man cannot control natural disasters. The future of nature is the future of us.
