Some Shadow Help :) How would you do it?

[Bret Walters]

Alright so I am more of a Cinema 4D guy but our design agency is kinda short of people atm, stupid flu knocked out like half the staff. So I'm tryin to make this work and I'm pullin my hair out lol. Basically I need the lady in the chair to have a similar shadow as the text, so it looks realistic. I have messed with it for a few hours and I keep scrapping it. Just cant get it to compare to the real shadows of Cinema 4D. Ugh Anyone got any suggestions? I realize the perspectives arent 100% correct from when the photo was taken to how I rendered the text but its gotta work for now. And any hints on making the yellows match a bit better in her jacket to the text? I tried adjusting hue/sat of the text layer and vice versa, still couldnt get a good match :\ One of those days..

I appreciate any help guys, you have no idea.

Thanks,
Bret

I would create another layer between the girl and the logo then paint the shadow in using the same colors on the logo and a soft brush probably use layer mode to either darken or another mode(play around with the mode option with the new paint on it

I'd make 2 copies of the girl.... fill black.... use guassian blur.... and distort both images to match the lighting shadows of the background.... I made copies of the two layers and flipped it to do the opposite side of the girl.
