Make your photo a backdrop for other elements.
Betsy Sammarco layered musical notation on open space in her photo to support her theme. She says, “This shot catches my niece thinking about her wish. I used a musical brush on the photo to help represent the singing and thoughts spinning around her head.”
Betsy digitally stamped the image over the entire photo, and then used a digital eraser set to a dry brush setting to remove the music from the girl’s face and body.
