Realistic Recreation Photography - Part 1

 

Greetings everyone! I hope you all are doing well <3 I know I haven't been the most consistent with my posting schedule. But I've been trying to focus more on quality over quantity with my posts. As Atticus once said, "Art takes time - Monet grew his gardens before he painted them."

I recently saw a post from Annabelle (A Murder of Crows - A Photoshoot) that got me inspired to do more realism when it comes to photography. So, I thought why not start by recreating some iconic movie scenes! Starting with one of my favorite fantasy movies, A Princess Bride.

Now, this movie has many iconic scenes as well as some very iconic lines. But I needed to choose one that was doable for my small backyard and limited strengths with special effects. 

Which lead me to pick this scene:

Skip to the time code 3:03 to see the scene that I recreated

If you haven't seen The Princess Bride, I would recommend you at least watch the clip before taking a look at my photography. 

So, after shooting the pictures for this scene with Nellie (Wesley) and Caroline (Buttercup) I took the pictures into Photoshop, and I recolored their clothing since their outfits are a very iconic part of the movie and I didn't have clothes that really fit the right color. I then edited the pictures as I normal do. 

And now, here we are! This is my small rendition of The Princess Bride

Wesley: "Can you move at all?"

Buttercup: "Move? You're alive..."

Buttercup: "If you want, I could fly"

And then they lived happily ever after...The end...

I'm just kidding! The movie is a lot longer than that. 

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this post :) I know it's quite a bit shorter than what I normally do, and I did actually have two other scenes from movies that I was planning on including (from Narnia and Lord Of The Rings) But I wasn't able to shoot and edit all the pictures in time. So, I figured I should do this one first and then do a part two, assuming you guys would want another one.

And please let me know how I did with colorizing the pictures. I've been trying to experiment more with various forms of my photography, especially with editing. And I'd love to know your opinion on it all. Even constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

And with that...I'll leave you here 🤍
