Endless Summer Composite 

Learn More About My Process Behind Designing the Composite

My goal was to create a new image where the woman was still floating on water but the water was digitally made

The Original Image

I had to begin by cutting out the woman from the original background

I wanted to differentiat my work from that of the original and a simple way was rotating her so that her feet faced the opposite direction than that of the original

Within Photoshop I created my own swirly water pattern

Afterwards, I layered all the necessary images, text and effects to homogenize the composite

To further harmonize the image and make it one cohesive idea I created a shadow that follows the shadow on the inner tube

What remains is the final composite

Final Composite 

Here are some other iterations that I worked on but ultimately didn't express the original idea
