The goal of this project was to create a photo illustration using Photoshop to convey a theme.
Caught up in toys Clare resident Matt Connor sits in the turret of a G.I Joe Battle Wagon assisting a couple Joes capture another in the Wightman lab Friday, November 19, 2010.
This photo illustration was created by first setting up the G.I Joes and taking a shot of them without Connor. Next take a shot of Connor by himself sitting in a chair at approximately the same angle as the turret is facing. Keeping the lights in the same position to try to make it look as natural as possible Then re-size him to approximately the size of a G.I Joe and using the magnetic lasso tool to get an outline of him cut him out of one photo and paste him into the photo of the G.I Joes. Erasing his lower body was necessary to make it look as if Connor was actually sitting in the turret.

Caught up in toys Clare resident Matt Connor is held captive by G.I Joe toys in the Wightman lab Friday, November 19, 2010.

Next take a shot of Connor by himself, re-size him to approximately the size of a G.I Joe and using the magnetic lasso tool to get an outline of him cut him out of one photo and paste him into the photo of the G.I Joes. The lighting setup remained the same to try to keep everything looking similar but the main difference was that the G.I Joes were set on a table.

Light Setup:
The captive in the second image needs to have the same shadow as the top soldiers. You can do this through layer > styles> drop shadow and adjust it until it matches. If that doesn't work or if you need more under the captive, try adding a new layer below the captive and paint in a shadow with the paint brush, softly, with the opacity reduced, with a soft grey color, and a 100% feather.
