Apnea poses as The Knife-thrower's Assistant. Part of my Nothing is Real but the Girl series of high production value images.
A 'virtual Apnea' serves to cast shadows and reflect in the metal knife blades. She is not directly visible in the finished image.
The original photo is here. [nsfw]
My Nothing is Real but the Girl series is based upon plans to use the Maxwell Renderer to create virtual sets that I first laid out as far back as here.

Playing with a faux antique / alternative photography look. I was going to do it in Maxwell but I cheaped out and did it in Photoshop instead. I split the image into CMY seps, individually crackled them, and multiplied them back together again.

I got a nice mention in Deke McClelland's Photoshop contest results at deke.com. Great job to all entries, and congratulations to the winners.
