Cousins

My Mum and her cousin probably caught by one of the street photographers that were around many moons ago. It seems strange to us now that folk made a living by snapping random photographs of people going about their business, but I'm glad they did! :)

I extracted the figures from the original photograph and then created the background using an old postcard of Glasgow from the late forties, when I'm guessing this was taken. Lots of playing about tonight with lots of different transfers and brushes layered one on top of the other in various modes - Hard light - colour burn and colour. Not sure what colour the tram should be but I like the pop of red.

Fantastic extraction and replant. I like the red too. It definitely looks like the forties to me. I had never heard of these street photographers. A very good thing!
 
I love the way it looks like your mom and her cousin are walking out of the scene, your background is wonderful!
 
What fun to add a background behind your extraction. They look like they belong together. I love how you are able to colour individual elements in the background. Great page.
 
Love the blending of the two photos. Amazing use of the transfers! Love it!
