Making of

The Specimen

~

So first I started with an image of my jar on the grass

then I tilted the cam upwards to enlarge it into a square..

after that came the girl (taken separately - so I had to adjust the exposure a little bit)

then I added the fireflies / pixy dust, whatever you prefer to call them..

I added a black layer (erased inside the jar) and set it on soft light for some contrast

a little curve adjustments (to add more contrast) and some desaturation

more colour curves

(Kinda like it like this lol.. gives it an underwater feel )

brining up the blacks and more curves - also some colour balance..

vignetting .. and Viola..

My Specimen.
