Today a new series "the making of" starts. This time a photography project that is going to be exhibited in July 2014. Ingredients are pictures made in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, and a newly procured Photoshop application.
The story that is going to be depicted is about a physician who lived in Jutphaas in the 19th century.
The historic figures are from old pictures (mostly postcards).
The main challenges I now face are lifelike shadows that the postcards should make (see below want I mean) and subtle edges to the figures in order to both highlight them and make them fit into the environment of the photo.
Below the first experimental results.
Dr Teljer and another inhabitant of Jutphaas in the churchyard, one of the most ancient parts of Juthpaas, nowadays a quarter of Nieuwegein:
Kerkveld where dr Teljer realised a water pump by which access to fresh and healthy water was hugely increased. Lack of clean fresh water caused many deaths in those days. Note that the water pump reflected is not original. Teljer's pump was more modest in size.
