For the process of creating my spooky parallax album cover, I started off by using burn and dodge as well as other tools to edit lighting as well as crop to create a better composition. 

After this, I started separating out my photo into z space by creating a foreground, middle ground, and background. When I removed each subject, I used clone stamp and other tools to try and create as seamless as a look that I could. 

Removed foreground and middle ground. 

I then put in my text for the final image before moving into After Effects. 

I then brought my image and separated each part along the z axis then animated my camera position.
