This composition was created as an entry for a contest held on the Deviant Art website by hosted by ‘froweminahildstock’. The theme for the contest was titled ‘A Light in the Dark’. |
| |
The underling concept behind this composition is simply, however trapped we may feel, there is always a light somewhere if we look for it. |
| |
This is a typical example of a photo montage. The final composition comprises of four images individual images. |
| |

| |
Each of the images was then masked out separately on its own layer then superimposed one over the other to create the final piece of artwork. |
| |
| The slightly exaggerated perspective of the room is intentional; this was intended to create the underlining ominous atmosphere of depression or despair within the room. |
| |
 |
| |
| The fusion of each of the images was achieved by using a series of blend modes, layer masks and adjustment layers. |
| |
 |
| |
The final process in the construction of this image was to give the tonal values of the composite images a greater unity and appear as if one complete image. |
| |
To achieve this, a standard ‘colour correction’ procedure was used. This was used to control and balanced the colour depth throughout the final image. |
| |
I would like to thank the creators of the Deviant Art stock images used to create this piece of artwork and for their kind permission for their use on this website. |
