A lot of people have been going crazy and shooting at the new four BILLION dollar Oculus train station for obvious reasons. It's architecturally amazing. The problem is that everyone pretty much gets the same photos there. The photos I have been seeing are amazing but I wanted to get something else out of it.
A lot of people seemed to have liked the surrealness of this photo I posted on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago and I'll explain what's going on here. It's a composite that I didn't think of until I was home looking at my shots from the day.
Here is the original photo:
As you can obviously tell, the floor in the final photo is actually a wall. However, the photo was boring and I had to make it more interesting. I like photos with people in it so I needed a subject to fill the void. I looked through all my photos to find someone I could put in there but couldn't find anything I was looking for. I decided to shoot a photo of myself in my apartment since I was able to match the lighting better that way.
Here is the photo I shot of myself:
Clearly a super shity photo but it worked for what I needed. Here is the final product:
When I first had the idea to do this, this was exactly what I imagined. What a satisfying feeling. Now I have my own unique photo that no one else can get at Oculus!
