PLASTER WALLS!

Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.

If you come across old peeling and mottled plaster walls, you are in the right place! Take pictures of the wall, and save the images in a folder called "textures". Use these textures in Photoshop as layer style backgrounds. Here is an example:

The wine was photographed on a plain white background. The plaster wall was added next on an additional layer. When the plaster layer goes over the wine photo, simply erase the area above the wine so the bottle can be revealed.

This is a rough explanation of the process, but it will get you started!
