Star Warhol
This is a photo composite of a Star Wars SnowTrooper Lego figure, which was taken with the iPhone camera; I then cropped it in PS Express. To create the picture, I used an app on my iPad called Photo Soft Box Pro-HD, which turns the iPad into a light box, in which you can create lights in various colors, textures and patterns. Next, I imported the photo into PhotoStudio wherein I applied 8 different effects to the photo. Finally, I brought the 8 photos into PicFrame to create the composite.
