Surrealism

I had a wonderful photo session yesterday with beautiful model Kendall Wallace in Guntersville, Alabama. I had an idea in mind to create an image of her suspended in a magical forest, and this is the result. I photographed her as she lay on a table and used two studio lights. The toughest part was dealing with the hair, and although it's not perfect it's not bad. I separated her from the background by meticulously cutting her out with the pen tool in Photoshop and pasted her into a foggy forest I had taken a number of years ago in Italy. The blue color comes from the fact that I took the picture at dawn with daylight white balance. Kendall likes cats, so I added the mysterious eyes of a black cat in the background.
