I want to make a photo showing a person sitting in front of a monitor, with a video game image projected on his face as if the monitor’s content is reflecting off his face, although we all know this effect is always faked.

Without renting a projector, is there a way to simulate an image projected on a person’s face with photoshop? The image should warp following the contour of the person’s face.

If the person is at the center of a clock, the monitor would be at 12-oclock and the camera would be at 10:30

Google for some tutorials how to accomplish it

You can fake this using filters. In particular there is one under distortion. Sorry I don’t sit at a windows machine, so I can’t tell you the exact name.
