Let's Get to it...

What You'll Need.
- Superimpose
- Phonto
- Afterlight
- Several pngs of your choice. (or just one. Whatever you want). If you're looking for more than one from the same person I recommend looking at png packs.
• Just google "_____ png pack."
- Background photo of your choice.

Step One.
First begin with Superimpose and set this black photo as your background:

And set your background photo of choice as the foreground. Expand the photo to cover the black background. I recommend having a background photo that goes with your png(s).

Merge the photos when done.

Step Two.
Now set your pngs of choice one by one. Merge and save in between each one just in case you want to change something. There's no set way or place in doing this step. It really depends on what you want.

I like to make them different sizes so it looks like they're at different distances. When putting one far away, I make them smaller and place it where I want. Click Mask and then the gradient box to remove the bottom portions of the png

Step Three.
Edit your photo as you please. Per usual, I like to play with the exposure, saturation, contrast, shadows, grain (!! we love a good grain), and the dusty effects. I also had a light leak effect.
