Building Surreal Fashion Composites from the Ground Up: What I Took from This CreativeLive Breakdown

Every composite I build starts with the same problem: how do I give the final image enough physical space to breathe while still keeping the subject sharp and the background believable? For years I solved that by shooting wider, which meant compromising on lens choice or losing the compression I wanted on the subject. The real answer, it turns out, is a stitching workflow I had been underusing. Watching this CreativeLive tutorial on high fashion composite photography snapped a few things into place for me in a way that straightforward technique articles never quite did.
