an interesting effect with no photoshop!
As inspired by the work of John French, last week a had a little go at a projection photo shoot.
The basic idea is that you use a projector (like you find in school or college) to project an image onto the body of a model.
You can then photograph this, and get an interesting effect without using photoshop!
