Digit-spiration

Part of my Imagine the Unimaginable set.

 

This image was directly inspired by Rosa Amato's picture digitart . I urge you to check it out, it's fantastic.

 

The Tech Info:

Strobist:

One light set up - Canon 580exII full power in brolly box camera left and slightly in front. Triggered with Cactus V4.

 

Photoshop:

I made tones of little squares on separate layers and added a drop shadow to all of them. To avoid making hundreds of square layers I merged some together and copied them several times and moved them around to create an unbroken texture. I then got the image of my face, made it monochrome and put it over the texture. I changed the blend mode of the face to multiply. I also used the liquify filter to bend and warp the texture around my face.

 

There were a few steps I've left out, but I think you get the idea.
