Sept 8 '16 ~ Second edit from the shoot last month. This took around 10 hours to completion, maybe even a bit more, not counting the photo shoot itself. The effects were created using various smoke brushes, and lots of color correction work. The hardest part (as usual) was cutting all my hair out of the background. Photoshop + hair = nightmare. Fortunately Photoshop CC makes it easier with the refine edge tool when working with layer masks. I probably could have done this in less time, yet a lot of it was spent looking for the perfect brushes online, trying those out & tossing those in favor of others. Even more time was spent perfecting all the colors until I was completely satisfied.
