This was an interesting challenge. I would consider myself a pretty knowledgeable user when it comes to Photoshop. I spent a long time looking for the right chair to use. I wasn’t sure what I was going for but I went through about 50 chairs until I came across five that I liked. Two of them had watermarks so that narrowed it down to three.
One was all white and very modern looking. That was my favorite but it technically was not a director’s chair. It was just a part of an ultra sleek furniture collection but if I was picking out a directors chair… that would be the one I would pick. I would definitely buy that for the house if it weren’t so expensive.
The final two were your average wood frame and canvas back material chairs. One was blue and the other was black. They were almost identical. I went with the blue one since it happens to be my favorite color.
Next was the photo. I had a friend take a few close-ups of me and a few full body shots. I decided to use one of the close-ups because the way I was sitting in the other two posed a problem when cutting out the pictures.
I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut myself out of the background and cut it to a new layer. Then I was simply able to just hide the background. Luckily, the chair I used was on a white background but it wasn’t tall enough, so I just made a new layer that was taller and dropped the chair layer on top of it. Next, I dropped my self on top of the chair layer. After some resizing, cropping, and image finishing, I was done.
