process
I took a photo of my son (against a light colored wall), turned it to black and white then increased the contrast so that the blacks were very black and the whites very white. Then, I used the cut out filter in photoshop. I adjusted the various settings until the cuts were where I wanted them. Two of the images are blended directly on the background while the other two have a white border that allowed me to add a drop shadow to give the page a little dimension. Since stencils are usually painted, I tried to achieve that look by blending various papers and brushes over the stenciled images.

Thanks for looking
