Part 2: Project Notes
Steps:
Set up the scenes and props for photos.
Results: Over a hundred photos taken.
Challenges: getting everything set up and editing to compose my photos.
Impact: It takes me longer to complete tasks on the computer.
It took several hours to get everything set up (lights, backgrounds, the dolls for Imposter, and toy Cats for Dunning-Kruger Effect.
The Imposter will be about 3 to 6 scenes, and the Dunning-Kruger about 1 to 3 scenes.
I used Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, lights, props, backgrounds, and my Canon Rebel T6 camera.
The product has static pictures.
My daughter helped to find props to use for the pictures.

Part 3: Learnings, Outcomes, & Accolades
Finding the props and setting things up went well. Having a green backdrop under my primary backdrop went well for editing. I would have sent my photos to Lightroom first to select the ones I would be using. Then sent them from Lightroom to Photoshop to finish editing. I hope you enjoy the concept pictures.
