The making of.....

A photographer friend asked how I made the first shot of the coming to LA story. I had to make another one for my client Kristen Don and thought I would record it for your viewing pleasure. Most of the time I am a "get it right in camera" kind of guy but there are times when it just makes more sense to leave your self some photoshop work. The location for the highway with the view of the city was an hour away and I knew we were not going to fit it in into our schedule. Since I was building the image in photoshop anyway I made the city a little closer than it normally is. It took me about 45 minutes to complete the the final image but here you see it in super fast motion.
