I have served as "Official Team Photographer" for the Vermont Ravens semi-pro football team for the past two seasons and this is an example of the individual collages that I did for each player (hopefully this is acceptable for the assignment). I used the team photo for the background by fading it so that it didn't compete with the player I was making it for. I took a photo of each player and cut them out using the lasso tool and erasing the background of the original. Then I copied the cut out player to a new layer on top of the team photo and added the player name and number. The players seemed to like them.
I loved how the focus is on the player but the team is in the background - nice team affect! They are lucky to have you as the official photographer. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWOW Nice job applying what you learned! Great technique for the background.
