Large Format Project

I have always been interested in the correlation between human emotions and nature. I would love to be able to combine these two aspects to create some strong conceptual images. I believe I can achieve this by first shooting a portrait of a person, and creating a double exposure by also shooting some sort of textural nature aspect such as water, fire, tree bark, grass, clouds, dirt, or even animals. I could also achieve this by doing "darkroom photoshop" and combine the images together as I create a print using dodging and burning methods with two negatives.
