15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Metamorphosis

I begin taking photos of my friend for another photo contest. In this contest we have to capture a portrait. So I decided to use the power and the effect of fire, that´s why there´s a lighter in his hand. As for the tree texture and the bugs, I wanted to make this Altered Image with photos of my own, meaning, I wanted everything we see in this picture to be made/captured by me. So I went on the street near my house and I photographed this tree with the little bugs. That´s how I created this picture.
