I'm proud of myself. I recognized that this photo was from "LOST". One helluva excellent series.While I do not myself like stripped in heads, skys, backgrounds or composite shots in general, most anything else is good with me. I find it interesting that some have said there are restrictions on doing those things for commercial clients, over my career I have found the opposite to be true. For a large assortment of reasons, since the widespread use of the digital darkroom, a huge number of images used by clients are composites. Even before digital, if the budget allowed a lot of images used in commercial, editorial and advertising were composite images. The only place I feel there is real push back on compositing, most of the time, is photo journalism. Here is just one example, I shot all of the different pieces for this image that was used to publicize the last season of LOST, shot in three locations over multiple days. It was done this way mainly due to actor availability and lack of studio space in Hawaii. There are somewhere between 16 and 30 different pieces to this image, I really have no idea the correct number since I only shot them and did not assemble it.
