Who's watching who?

I much prefer taking photos where the subject is staring straight into the camera. It means the viewer of the photo gets the feeling they are being watched while they look.

In this case, however, a TV cameraman was filming me while I was taking a photo of the director. So the viewer is not only being stared at, but is being filmed too.

For a bit of extra fun, I overlaid an image of a piece of glass that's been sitting in the garden for several months. Finally, giving it a sepia tint makes the photo look a few decades old rather than the few weeks it actually is.



As usual, feel free to click on the image for a larger version

      My apologies for the delay in responding, but I didn't know this comment was here - there must have been a problem with comment notification.

  2. Good composition. Like the way the dirty glass has been used to darken the right side of the frame and focus attention on the subject. Is there any way of doing this layering outside of photoshop?

    1. Thank you Andrew :)

      The layering was done in Photoshop, so I'm not sure how to do it with any other programme. I've heard "Gimp" is supposed to be a great programme that can do many of the things Photoshop can, and has the added advantage of being free, so you could always try that :)
