Photobash process of Bellatrix. (You guys asked me to show the process, but I don’t record since it takes me so much time only finding textures and photos, which is pretty boring to watch hahaha). This is a gif showing the layers of the image.1. Finding the “Muse photo”. It’s about that one photo that inspires me for the image. Sometimes I have luck to find the perfect one that clicks and tells me “wow that could become Bellatrix”, which happened in this case. I find the photos of #potterframe on websites such as Unsplash and Pexels, so I can freely use and modify them. I think it’s funny because some of the pictures the models are doing something completely random that, if I use a bit of imagination, I can visualize a complete different story - which is part of the fun of doing these.2. I paint over the model so she looks like how imagine Bellatrix. I make sure they are designed according to what I imagine, and it requires knowledge of values so the brush strokes are not visible - that’s how I try to keep the realism of the photobash alive.3. I use references for make-up as well, in this one Amy Lee (Evanescence) in Going Under was the one I chose.4. The background is a collage of photos of mansions and churches (because of the aristocratic, gothic design where I imagine the scene happening). I blurred them to give the effect of cameras depth of field, which is what gives the aspect of a movie frame.5. The aspect ratio and letterbox (the black rectangles) is what also give the frame a movie vibe, and the final touches are the atmosphere. I play with levels, curves and all good stuff from Photoshop to try to find the right mood for the scene. -- source link
