I photographed this ornate interior in Peterhof Palace, St. Petersburg, Russia. So many of the incredible interiors of the great Russian palaces are perfect as a background for elegantly dressed models, but to arrange such a shoot is very expensive, time consuming, and bureaucratically challenging. So, my photo tour group and I photographed the model in a studio, and then using Topaz Mask AI, I selected her and digitally placed her within this stunning architectural frame. Using the burn tool, I made a shadow on the floor at the hem of the dress because everything casts a shadow, even in diffused light. I thought the colors in this image worked out very well, and I even like how the model's blonde hair harmonizes with the gold used on the furniture, the wall, and the remarkable frame. My settings for the shot of the background were 1/100, f/4, and 4000 ISO.
