Photographed models in the studio, added background and adjusted entire image to make it more cinematic.

Titled: Falling Apart, Model:Dora Miller, I shot Dora in the studio with moody light.  Tweaked the background to all a touch of drama  and to darken the mood even more.  Then drew a grid across the entire image, selected several blocks and pasted them to a new layer and added the zoom effect to create the illusion of the explosion ....
