65. Just a few minutes’ work had an immediate big
impact, having looked at the bare foam for so long.

66. For the backdrop, you completely cut out the
photographed sky and just keep the land, so all the
sky you see in this shot is painted wall. The photo
is applied directly to the wall with doubled-up blue
painters tape. I started to install trees from the back
right-hand corner and worked towards the front, doing
the berm at the same time. The wall below the photo
was painted black, so that when standing close to
the fascia you’d see nothing but shadow below the
picture. We were all stunned at how the photo back-
drop opened up that entire scene and gave it amazing
depth. Very high impact!
