Pretty stoked about this edit. This is 100% the ID mask with no morphing or overlays, pasted into the iconic stairway photo from 1978. The head from the original ‘78 image was completely erased before pasting in my photo of the ID mask.
I did my best to get as close to the original ‘78 image when initially shooting my photo. I tried to recreate similar lighting using a ring light as well as shoot from the same-ish angle as the original ‘78 image. For the edit, all that I did to my photo was desaturate the image, up the contrast/shadows quite a bit, and threw a little grain over the top to blend it with the rest of the image.
Check the comments below for some comparison shots and images of my original photo before the edits.
Thanks for looking!
