Baby Bird in Autumn

Home Studio

Thomas Autumn Portrait

The nest was built using graduated sizes of grapevine wreaths and a bit of extra grapevine garland. The wings are as much of a digital creation as an actual physical creation. The wings are wired into the back side of the nest. I created the "cloak" by photographing the set without the baby in the nest and merging the before and after images in Photoshop 7.

Nikon D70 ,d70 kit lens

other sizes: small medium original auto

This image gets the Anne Geddes vote. She will be passing the crown over to you very soon if you keep this up. Nice work.

Wonderful! I think I'm an outdoor (natural light) photographer, then I see your work and it really makes me want to learn, then I'll have to blame you when I explain to my husband that I want to set up a studio in the basement and I show him how much the backdrops cost ;)

You are so creative and handy!! Hugs, Phaedra

This a very distinctive look, Angie... You could have a real hit on your hands with this technique!
