Fully Involved

I prefer on location shoots for these types of shots, this way each is original and not reusable time and time again

Fantastic work! I love it! Well done!

It seems like it's basically a montage of multiple images.

It is a single capture. Nothing is edited in or out.

So, you're using a projection type virtual background system, I take it? I've been thinking about going that route myself, so I'd love to know a little more about that. Which system are you using, and what size screen are you using for an image like this?

I'm not a professional and really just looking here to see what inspiration I can draw for my own work, just so you know where my comment is coming from. That picture is a pretty good illusion. I'll say it looked a little off to me because the pose of the running guy seemed strange, and the fact that they seem to be trying to save a fully burnt tree instead of running to get in front of the fire to get a fire block set up or something seems illogical to me. But the photo itself seems technically very good and definitely is cool. However, that's not what made me want to comment. I was reading through other comments, specifically those that suggested that this sort of imagery is somehow 'fake' and to me, I don't see it. The idea is to create a beautiful photo. I mean, it's really awesome when you capture a perfect moment and all, but there are so few of those. Very often I have an image in my head, usually because of something I've seen that could have been a perfect shot, except for.. well, whatever. I applaud you for creating those moments when you can't actually capture them, or have just imagined something interesting. I agree it's a different sort of art, but I don't think it's inferior. But that's just my humble opinion. I do have one question, though. What do you do with a photo like this? Is it for sale as art? Is it meant for an ad or something? Strictly personal gratification?

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
