The Construction of an Illusion

A man and a woman are added to the background. They have been carefully posed and photographed under controlled conditions. The camera angle is chosen with great care so that they will fit correctly into their pre-assigned position in the image.


I try to photograph elements such as these in a flat neutral light, so that I can manipulate them afterwards to match my image. These were photographed inside my Brussels loft, which often doubles as an impromptu studio.
