This photo
was actually edited a lot later than I took it. It was made with a very strong
message, inspired by a tough state I was in at the time. I was pretty
demotivated by the environment I lived in. Village life, poverty...Thought it
was impossible to succeed there. Then I discovered internet marketing, selling
photos digitally, and kinda found the right way.
It is,
without a doubt, one of those „Look, he used Photoshop“ photos. A bit too much
of editing for my taste, as well as many other people´s, but definitely a
strong image. Basically, I merged two photos, one of my friend looking at the
lens, and another of just a street in a big city. It presents hoping for a
better life in future, wishing for opulence, living in a bigger city...
I edited it
in GIMP, made a lot of prototypes before the final photo, it was really hard to
simulate the perfect reflection in the sunglasses. I really like the surreal atmosphere created in the photo. Looks great in B&W.

Here are the prototypes before the final image. As you can see, it looked really bad at first...
