Materials:
- Digital Camara
- Tripod (optional)
- Computer (with Photoshop)

1. Pick a location to carry out your scene.

2. Place your tripod on a safe and secure location, where you are sure it will not move.
- (if not using a tripod place camara on a flat area, and try not to move it between pictures taken.)

- Place yourself and/or other people in different locations for each picture taken.

- THink about location, overlapping, among other things.

Step 6 & 7

6. Open each picture in Photoshop, all in different Tabs.

7. Take one of the pictures as your base (meaning that you will use it as your back layer).

Step 8

8. Go to another Tab, with a different picture, and with the "Lasso Tool (L)" (in the tool box) select the area around the person.
- (include shadows created by the person)

Step 9

9. Copy the selected area and paste it on the base picture.
- the picture will be pasted on a separate layer, move the area to the corresponding location, so that the surroundings fit appropriately.

Step 10
