I started by going into the studio with a bag full of Union Jack flags, England flags, Wales flags and other objects that involve the Union Jack flag on, such as a mug/cup, door stand bag, red guard outfit with a black top-hat and more bunting of flags.

I wanted to do an idea where I create a silhouette of someone in front of each flag. So, I got my friend to stand in front of the flags with another person stood on a box behind holding the flags out, then went into photoshop and edited him to be a silhouette in front of each flag ending with the Union Jack flag.

I then wanted to edit this photo of my friend dressed up as a royal guard with the flag overlaying on top of him, which I created by taking a photograph of just the flag and just him and then merging them with the ‘Luminosity’ effect on Photoshop.

I then didn’t want the shadows from the first image, so I used the brush tool and set it to a similar colour as the grey on the left side with no shade, used low opacity so I can blend it in, looking realistic, then covering the shade until it was looking like what I had envisioned, resulting in this.
