Edstrom Project ; Enviorment WIP

background

Yesterday I continued on the Edstrom Family shoot piece.
After masking and masking and masking and still not completely finished (still have Ebba left) i just needed to do something else to regain some movement in my head.
So i started to sketch on the enviorment and background for the piece.

What you see here is still during process and far from done, but i think the idea is coming forward abit more.
During our visit in Pokrovsky Hills we went for a walk and i took some pictures from different angles around the compound, to get some different elements to put together and work with.
I didn want to just take on picture of a certain enviorment to use in this picture. No, my idea is to build the enviorment with elemtns from the compound, such as houses, cars, roads, trees etc etc..
It will be and look like it does in Pokrovsky but at the same time not. Like a new version of Pokrovsky Hills.
Plus i can decide and feel more free when i compose the image.
I will try to get the perception and angles as good as i can but as this will end up (hopefully) in a more cartoonic style of image, it does not matter that much if some perceptions are not 100% correct. It could be quite cool actually...!

The image you see here is from 4 different pictures.
But all of them except the sky is from Pokrovsky Hills.
Even the fat cat.
The sky is just there to add some feel to it about how it could look, like a measurestick when placing the other components and moving them around.
I might change that one to a more suitable later on.

Also i havent put in the characters yet, but on the picture in the post below you can see them.
And my idea is to get a feel that they are coming up from a hillroad, that comes up from behind the corner of the house in a sharp turn.
I will try to make it more verge and to make the road look a bit more steep hill-like....just havent figured out how yet.

Looking forward to get all pieces cut out and start with the shadowing and lighting soon.
That will be the biggest challenge.

Now i will put on some Michael Jackson music.

Yo!

Last weekend we where in Pokrovsky Hills making the familyshoot for the Edstroem Family.
Annelli, Göran, Ebba, Alice and Leo.
Had planned for this a couple of months ago and im very glad i finally did happen, even though we didnt really had the Gods of Weather on our side.
Had planned to do all the shooting outside against the carport, and offcourse just as we where finished with the setup...the rain came.
So in we went with all the strobes, octaboxes etc.
We did improvise a little bit and set up everything in their diningroom with a some white bedlinens. Worked very well.
So here is a preview of what might come.
Just a rough sketch putting together all the components just to have an idea about the composition.
Now the real fun begins.

Stay tuned!

Pakka.

Though im not so saticefied with it yet.
I will give it a new try this evening i think cause the burlap texture does not really correspond to the features of the face and the shadows etc..
Also i think the texture is abit to thick and heavy..

Hope you like the concept anyway..

=)

Pakka!
