This challenge happily coincided with some new experimentation of mine. I'm still working out the process and don't want to go into details just yet, but I will say two things:
- It's "real" -- in fact, this would have been a minimal edit had I not had to crop (as a rule I don't crop my images, but this process sort of requires it).
- No plastic bag or other material came into contact with the face of the model, who may or may not be me.
Thank you.

If you haven't read The Industry of Souls then may I give you the urge? Martin Booth is dead now, but I think you'd nominate the novel for the posthumous blue.
Very creepy and nice use of light and shadow. I am going to guess this is photoshopped, mainly because I can't see any distinctive warping in the fabric of the paper.
kind of a disturbing picture, like a last gasp. I'd go with it being a real image though as I think the stress lines on the plastic would be difficult (though not impossible) to imitate.
