Getting ideas
Any new project requires an idea ‘seed’
to begin with. For me, it often comes
from taking one or two photos and playing with
them in Photoshop. Fun opens up creativity.

Creating shapes
Photoshop Layer Masks are essential in this
type of work: they allow you to delete in a non-
permanent manner, so if you delete too much you can
retrieve it. It helped me to precisely delete parts
supposed to be hidden behind the landmarks.

Wrapping around buildings
Creating a triangular shape is easy. Blending
it so that it seems part of the photo (and
not just like you slapped a triangle in there) is another
story. Perspective and reflections are key. At first
I couldn’t get it right, but with enough trial and
error, I eventually did, learning a lot in the process.
