Landscape used for jacket.

"City Man, AKA Jarod"

        

       Although the original thought of the man was to use images of nature and incorporate it into the photo, I decided to use city landscapes. Ive always seen the beauty of the city and wanted to incorporate that into the image. I started by searching for pictures that just had a view with buildings and skyscrapers. I decided to blend the landscape into the models jacket using a mask. I used the "Vibrance" Adjustment layer to let all the buildings how through his jacket while still making it look natural. 
       I think I could've worked on making the hair look natural. I had to use three different pictures of the city to make it all flow together. This is where the adjustment layers come in handy because I could use the tools to make the pictures and seams blend together to not make it seem like three separate pictures. I could have found a way to make his hair somehow show through to see the texture of his hair instead of just the solid image of the city. To add onto the picture, I made some buildings and skyscrapers come out as if it was his hair.
