To make something look like one effortless snapshot

can cost thousands of dollars. Especially if the scene/place does not exist in reality.

Spending money on buying and putting together props, models’ fees, pick-up time, assistants, an architect’s work, photography and of course my further photoshopping efforts for days.

It is so hard to take a fresh look at it again and again while I fake the scene to see if I can fool myself.
I posted this because it feels as if I am getting close; and checking my TumblrDB is my way of looking away. I would love to show, but as always, that isn’t possible until it is published.

(Talking about a different image than what I did yesterday.)
