The image above took first place in Grade A in our recent ‘Seascape’ competition. This is how it was made:

I knew about the sea view printed competition I decided to take a photo that will be both normal photography and my favourite style digital composition.

For the photoshoot organised by ECCG with the theme seascape I invited one of my models. The photoshoot took place in Ballycotton at the time of the sunrise. I got the idea to put a tornado in the background at the same time she doesn’t look back just calmly looking into the future hoping for a better time. Then two days later and 20 layers on photoshop and you saw the final result.
