Graffiti Dungeon Composite

Well what can I say, but this photo kicked my butt. Compositing may not be my thing.
We did get a lot of great background images on our recent trip to Salt Lake City, like this one of the abandoned building with the graffitied walls, so I am tempted to try a few more times with some of them.

We’ll see. I keep thinking that one day working with Photoshop will become second nature, but instead it just keeps getting harder

Once again, inspired by Joel Grimes.

Abandoned building from the outside:

- Two gridded strip boxes on either side and behind subject
- 22″ gridded beauty dish directly in front of subject, 3′ overhead
