I am interested in knowing how this picture was taken.
Very likely double exposure
Could be done with purely photographic techniques, or aided through the use of technology like image editors
same, assuming it’s not just shopped after :)
It does not necessarily have to be retouched, it is enough that the shade coincides with one of a plant that hangs above. It may be a simple random photo of the cat that was put in this shade.
I was thinking about that, but the cat itself isn’t in shadow. But maybe it’s possible to align something just right so that the shadow is thrown just past the cat.
Also possible, in any case it is not necessary to use Photoshop for such a photo, shadows often create curious effects. https://ilusionesopticas.org.es/sombras-que-parecen-un-hombre-colgado/
that’s pretty awesome
