This photo of a futuristic conquistador is from early in my career. The background is a photo of marble stairs from the atrium of the World Trade Center, which was then was flipped, mirrored, and combined with a comp of blue buildings and a red sunset, a 3d render of the image mapped onto a sphere and the wooden man is an actual sculpture from a mansion in the UK.

Bushy hair was created when I was photographing a woman and asked her to go stand under a tree that looked really big, but the foliage completely obscured the upper part of her body and looked like a comically giant curly hair-do.
