The first thing you have to do is open up all your images in photoshop by going to File > Open

The next thing you do is choose which image you want as your background image and click and drag it so that it is separate from all your other photos. I chose this image:


Then go to your other images and find a photo you want to layer on top and go to the mouse tool that looks like this:


Click and drag your image over the top of your background image. Your layers should now look like this:


The easiest thing to do when making your clone is to make your Opacity lighter so that you can see both images:



Move your image around until your new layer is in a suitable place.

Now go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All:


Your layers should now look like this:


Click on the Paint brush and make sure that your colours are black and white like below:


You can change the size of your brush size by going to the top of the toolbar on photoshop

now colour around your person/object rubbing out all the excess background. Your layer will look like this. You should have a white mark where the person is.






If you erase to much and want to bring some back, switch your colours to white so that you can colour in the bits you need.



Final Image

Shooting.







Plan

For my multiple image I want to create something like Paul M Smith's photos of Robbie where you have the same person repeated over and over again in some sort of situation.

I want a busy-ish sort of photo like this:


- I think that maybe making my photos look like a party scene would be interesting.

- Have my model stand in different positions all around the room making it look like a party.

- Try and create the effect that people are talking to each other.


- Location would either be in my living room or if the weather is good, in the garden allowing more room.

Research.

Paul M Smith

Inspired/Interested you?
I chose this image as I like how they are all so close to each other. I think it's the most realistic one and isn't overly photoshopped.

Lighting/Mood?

The lighting is quite bright. It's outside and it doesn't look like any special lighting equipment was used for it, just natural daylight. I think that the mood is happy and energetic. They are obviously trying to emphasis the fact that they are excited about the football match.

Theme

The theme is football and they are showing their excitement at a football match

Composistion

They are the main picture. You don't have too much background in it. Having them in the middle and so close to the front makes them centre of attention and makes people focus on them and their different facial expressions.

Colouring

The colouring is quite bright, it's also very similar colours. There is a lot of blue which emphasis' the team they are in.
