This was a challenging project, yet fun! The hardest part for me was trying to be creative, and not copy someone online.  The first photo it started with the one shadow just holding the banana, and then it turned into fighting over the banana! I thought I turned out pretty cool.  To take this photo I had to wait for the right time of day so that the shadows wouldn't be too short, or tall.  Then I had my subjects stand so that it looked like they were fighting over the banana.  The hard part was trying to make it look interesting and not getting my own shadow in the photo. I just used a point and shoot for this photo.  The next photo I wanted the girl in front to look like a giant pushing the little girls in dresses. I should probably call it Jane and the bean stock. :) I didn't add any edits to the photo, but I did use a flash to make the foreground brighter.  My edited photo was really fun! I had tried and tried to figure out what I wanted to do. First I wanted to put someone on a building, and then I just didn't know how to get the right photo. So late that night is suddenly came to me to do the devil and the angel on my subjects shoulder.  The lighting is my best, but it was fun to cut out the other photos and try and make it look believable. To cut them out I used the quick selection tool, and the black shirt was easier then the white shirt because of the contrast!
