Composite photography refers to images created by combining elements from two or more images. It has been an art form employed by photographers<\/a> long before Photoshop and digital editing were even a twinkle in Adobe\u2019s eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famous photographers from the Victorian age were already manipulating photos to create incredible, fantastical scenes, such as the Canadian photographer William Notman who staged enormously elaborate photographs<\/a> with only the technology available at the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we have even more freedom and tools at our disposal to experiment with composite photography, and with these tips and tricks, you\u2019ll be all set to begin in no time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is composite photography?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"composite <\/picture>

Composite photography involves assembling multiple pictures or elements into one final composition, with many creative outcomes available. Levitating subjects, depicting the passage of time, cloning an object, and superimposing unlikely elements together are all examples of artistic composite photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also use composite photography as a technical tool, as well. Think of those incredible astrophotography shots where the Milky Way spills across the frame in crisp detail and below it an incredible landscape of trees, rivers, canyons, or meadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think that\u2019s one image? Not at all \u2014 it\u2019s a composite. We\u2019ll explain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical composites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When shooting a landscape, it can often be difficult to expose properly for the sky and land alike. If a graduated filter isn\u2019t easily available, the next easiest solution is to take two photos \u2014 one exposed for the sky and one of the ground \u2014 and then stitch them together in post-production, masking out the parts you don\u2019t need.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to shoot on a tripod when stitching together images like this to ensure both photos line up accurately.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composite photography is also a great way to edit out unwanted people in your photos, especially if photographing in a busy tourist area. Take multiple photos on a tripod, and layer the images one on top of the other. After that, simply erase anything you don\u2019t want to see in the final photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astro photography has another benefit from composite photography \u2014 known as stacking \u2014 to get rid of visual \u201cnoise\u201d when shooting long exposures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting on a macro lens can come with the disadvantage of losing details outside the narrow depth of field afforded. Some photographers will shoot multiple photos at different focus marks so that the insect, tree frog, or other minute subject being captured comes out in greater detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the stacking method for astrophotography, this is known as focus stacking. This method can also be helpful for landscape photography when it\u2019s necessary to have elements in the foreground and background in focus. Again, shoot on a tripod.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic composite photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"composite <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For all the artists out there, this is your moment to shine. Composite photography allows artists to craft an image rather than simply capture what is before them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stitching together multiple images, we can create all sorts of fantastical scenes, from a little girl having a conversation with three of herself, to all the hours of a day stretched across the canvas to a swan swimming in a teacup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to do it, in a word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Photo <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Start with the photo that will serve as the background of the final image.\u00a0Then add new layers for each element you want in the photo \u2014 from people to animals, to locomotives, and beyond. Using the Magic Wand tool, draw a selection around the element.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the \u201cMask\u201d button below, and remove the background from the element you are adding by painting the mask square white. Next, click the \u201cMask\u201d button below the layers, or put the selection onto a new layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By choosing a Layer Mask, you can add or delete parts of the original photo by coloring the mask layer. White to reveal and black to hide.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to do it, with more nuance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"composite <\/picture>
Source: Peerspace<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Begin with a plan for the image. Sketch it on paper if you can \u2014 it needn\u2019t be more than a quick outline. Will the image take place indoors, at night, in a city park, on the moon? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider how the lighting will play across the scene, and keep this in mind when photographing the other elements you will introduce to the image to ensure it looks as realistic as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a mood board to help plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing a mood board can be a great way to help build ideas for your image, including color schemes, textures, perspectives, and other details you may want to include. Putting them all in one place will make it easier to see what works and what you want to change. You can also use this moment to gather important references. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you\u2019re planning a wintery morning scene, find real images of the snow in the morning light, to see how the light plays on the snow, what the texture is like, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a narrative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The more you work with an image, the more you will naturally start to build a narrative around the characters in the scene, and this will add enormous depth to your final photo. If there is a girl holding a balloon, out of which is bursting an eagle, for example, then how did the girl get the balloon? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was she expecting the eagle? What is her reaction? Does the eagle have wings fully out-stretched, or are they still unfurling? What time of day is it? Why is that significant? Did the girl steal the balloon from a witch? Is the witch watching? All of these sorts of questions will help you build a compelling image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tweak your sketch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With so much work having gone into your image at this point, you\u2019ve probably come up with some new ideas. This is the moment to adjust your initial sketch or maybe even draw a new one entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a good idea of how you\u2019ll be bringing each element to life, and now it\u2019s time to get started!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoot on a green screen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shooting on a green screen<\/a> is one of the easiest ways to ensure you\u2019ll have no trouble cutting out your subject matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, that\u2019s what it\u2019s for! Especially if your image is featured around a low-contrast background, this will ensure that no details are lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get shooting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With each element carefully planned, it\u2019s time to go into the studio<\/a> \u2014 or wherever you\u2019ll be working \u2014 and begin creating your photograph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composite photography is all about faking real life and affords incredible ability to experiment and play, creating unbelievable collage images that defy reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the ‘Mask Tool’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned before, the Mask Tool is your best friend for composite photography. The advantage of using masks is that you can go back later and reveal more of the image or erase them as you desire. You can also adjust the opacity of a mask, refine the borders, or invert the mask as you see fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a full tutorial on Mask Layers<\/a> could keep us occupied for a long time! Use Masks to your advantage, and the world of composite photography is your oyster.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the ‘Smudge Tool’ to hide the edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, there are little imperfections. Especially along the edge of the elements you are adding into the scene, you might find that these jump out at you in a jarring way, bringing you out of the scene entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the Smudge Tool in Photoshop \u2014 or another editing software \u2014 will help soften these abrupt edges and make the image feel more real.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional tips and tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"composite

If you\u2019re stuck for inspiration, consider looking back in time \u2014 to famous works of fine art. The elegant forms and varied subject matter of fine art \u2014 of which you have enough material to keep you busy for your whole career \u2014 are great starting points. Surrealist paintings are particularly well-suited to composite photography.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also practice or get started by finding old images in your portfolio and creating composites out of them. It\u2019s a great exercise in creating something out of \u201cnothing,\u201d so to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock photographs are another excellent material source and can provide you with all sorts of inspiration that may have never crossed your mind. Don\u2019t let your art be confined to only what you can produce, especially if you\u2019re looking for elements from foreign countries \u2014 such as unique animals or landscapes \u2014 or things that are hard to reproduce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very \u201csimple\u201d type of composite photography is the trusty double exposure. Whether shooting on film or on digital, the juxtaposition of two or more images overlaid across each other can tell poignant and unique stories. You might be surprised at what you create! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
