Summer Palette

I chose summer as my season, and Mac as my model! It seemed fitting to use him because I know he's a surfer (despite the fact that he's from Canada), so he's bound to have a pair of surfer apparel. So, during our photo shoot, I really just wanted to focus on his shorts and his legs. Although there wasn't any sand, just the focus on the boardshorts and the white background screamed at me to make it summer-y. When I chose my photo, I didn't know what to do exactly, or how to incorporate my summer color palette to create a background. So, I decided to come up with a crazy, sort of complicated background with the majority of the summer color palette to make the background look interesting, almost as if it was like him standing a really weird beach, with a rising sun brush in the background, because usually during the summer, it's extremely sunny.

I tend to have a problem with white space as well as creating things especially for this project since there are so many things going on at the end of the year. I found myself somewhat stumped, like I was on a "photoblock" or something. But now, I was able to finish and follow through. :)
