Amazing Composite Photos

Introduction
"I'm a model builder in Jupiter, Florida and a member of IPMS/USA group Ft.Lauderdale "Flight 19. Have been building forever and love model crafting with a passion. I also love aviation photography and naturally began shooting pictures of my models after they were built and when Adobe Photoshop came along in the early 90's, I found a way to bring all three passions together to create a unique form of art I call artist representations.

Somewhere the blending of three different artistic mediums create something that is more than just a photograph, or a model."

editor's comments
David uses background photos that he takes while flying, then superimposes photos of his finished models to put them in their narutal element. He uses kits from 1/144 to 1/32, and enjoys "What If?" subjects. He tells us that his next subject is a 1/32 F-8 Crusader in Blue Angels markings. If it's anywhere near the quality of the models he has shared with us, it's going to be spectacular.

David sent a partial list of the kits in some of these pictures: 1/144
Revell Constelation
Airfix BAC 111
1/72
F-100F, kit unknown
1/48
Monogram F-80
Momogram B-26C
1/32
Hasegawa A-4E
Tamiya F-14A+
Fisher Model & Pattern TF-9 Cougar

Great work David! Real nice photos of the models,I like the light reflection on the aircraft frames. With Photo shop etc one always now has to question what you are seeing is real or fake! Keep up the great work.
