Description

I took the photo of the jars. I cut it out of its original background. I put it on a new background. I took a photo of my husband on his knees through the living room window (i.e., with glass in front of him). Then, I cut him out, and put him in the jar. To further give the effect that there was glass in front of him. I copied a rectangle of the jar just above his head. Then I stretched this rectangle over his whole body, so you couldn't see him anymore. Then, I changed the opacity of the rectangle. Finally, I used some filters to give it an eerie feeling.
