I love Alice In Wonderland. I love the books, the made for t.v. movie and most of all I love the Alice games(American McGee's Alice and Alice: The Madness Returns). I don't think I like the Disney Alice In Wonderland however. I don't think I've ever used Alice that many times in a sentence. OK anyway- I wanted to make a series of Alice images that I hadn't seen done before.
Years ago I tried to use a pop-up book as the background for an image I was doing. It was Beauty and the Beast and I tried to put a person in the book, as Belle, with the Beast. It didn't work at all. Not even a little bit. But that's when I was younger and suckier at Photoshop. Now I'm older and way better with Photoshop. ----weird how the old me was the young me---
Shawn and I bought an Alice In Wonderland pop-up book and asked our LOVELY AND WONDERFUL friend Danielle if she would model for us. And model she did. Danielle was amazing. She helped soo much- she came up with how to wear her hair, her make-up and what she felt Alice should wear. AMAZING.
You know who else is amazing?
1.Shawn, for helping with the hours of Photoshop this one image took. Shawn watched Photoshop tutorials with me and helped me analyze the lights and shadows and how to add them into this image.
2.Erin. Erin works at Just Us, with Danielle. She made us the coffee that kept us going while we were editing. Erin also gave us helpful critique when we needed it.
Enough rambling here's the first in the series of three Alice images. ENJOY!!!
Cheers,
Sarah
