This is one of my favorite models in Venice during carnival, Jeanne-Renee Georjon. Her hand-made costumes are always gorgeous. A few years ago she asked me what color I'd like her costume to be the following year, and since green is my favorite color, that's what I requested. This stunning design resulted, and I took many pictures of her wearing it. Her business for many years was making porcelain dolls, and every year she creates a mask to turn herself into the perfect doll. I'm always looking for new backgrounds to create images other people don't or can't do, so in this shot I composited the interior of San Marco Cathedral with Jeanne-Renee. I used the pen tool in Photoshop to meticulously select the costume. It's important to make sure none of the original background color comes with the costume when it's pasted into the new background.
