It's fairly simple, Mr Slade.

From the flickr:

Another experiment with built photographs. LED lights with a lace scarf over them provided the base. Faces and hands were shot then textured and coloured in Photoshop CS5 before being printed out and backed with card.

The entire structure was 3' deep, to allow variations with depth of field. Some elements were hung from string running along the top of the piece.

Final photographs were taken in RAW and then edited in Lightroom for development and Photoshop for a final texture to tie with whole together. This last texture was masked so that some areas (mainly Alice's face) could be made out more clearly.

Good luck with it. When you start to realise you can create anything, it begins to get addictive.

It reminds me of the film a town called panic. Although the was actual objects... Their movements were stop motion. Not necessarily poseable .... I've got to try this again... You're doing a western...?? Maybe I'll try a zombie horror set....lol!!
