great starting image - could easily cut/comp out background from where grass “line” cuts to the hills of the mountains - something dramatic going on in distance? could shoot or comp photos of group standing on top of roof watching whatever is happening in distance
could change colour of house to be more dynamic/”pop” more with whatever background ends up being as well - remove small random details like “morning glory” text on house
could also add figures on grass / around the house, maybe something is happening on roof and background is less the focus, something is happening on the roof that is the focus and all figures surrounding the house are looking up at whatever is happening
the lighting is harsh / shadows lines are hard but this could also work for a potential night-grade instead of keeping it sunny and day time looking, options are always nice
could be a great background - cut out foreground elements up to tree line in back?
More potentially good background assets - particularly like the grain/noise on the 2nd one, looks like it was likely shot on film or is an old film scan, can’t quite tell but the low fidelity look is nice
beautiful base image - something coming out of hole on top of hill? could crop differently as well depending on what “it” is - add more figures standing around edge of hole wearing black so they stand out or something?
remove woman , add different elements - could be a good background or base image, thought it was worth sending!
remove mountain or comp elements on top of it to cover it - elements getting “pulled” up into clouds?
the way the top of the mountain is lighter than the base is such a beautiful effects, maintaining the lighting through whatever is composited into the scene would be awesome if possible. another really nice stock image worth sending to see what you think
another great base image like previous hill image, red soil just pops nicely so sent it as well
could potentially cut out rock on side with small shack, have characters standing on edge of railing and looking out at something?
rocky walls/hills + water is super nice, could have something / things floating or in water, loads of potential ways to use this image, cropped in tighter potentially as well
BATCH 2
love destroyed highways and thought it could be a cool base image/environment - could either divide the two sections and keep them roughly the same as here but with the background removed, or keep the left side (like below, rough selection for reference ) and bring in a new background to complement whatever the subject(s) end up being on the highway
similar idea - cut out background and have subjects on top of car maybe?
rough selection/base below for reference
I really like the diving board and angle here, how it’s shot from below a bit - could be interesting to remove it from the background and place it somewhere really different and add characters to it maybe
love the markings all around the hole in the wall and that the rubble is stil below it - comping out the inside and replacing it with something else could be cool? like below - I like vertical crop for this
something coming out of house / people floating out?
I explored this abandoned factory a while back and found this water that was sludgy green - wanted to have someone laying in it or something and never got around to it , could work? would comp out the grafiti of course, I have vertical shots of this scene as well
