Project 6

Blossoming 

For this project, I had chosen four different pictures of  flowers and a picture of my sister. In Photoshop, I used a texture of a concrete wall for a simple background and then cut out the flowers to put around my sister. I didn't really know what I was making while creating this image but I like the way it turned out. I made some flowers transparent and it covered her face. I like the colors and exposure and the way the flowers are blending with her skin.

Surrealism and Photomontage

Surrealism is creating a world or image which goes beyond the physical world. It shows something which would be impossible in real life or tampers with the line defining what is real and what is imaginary.

Here are a couple famous artists that influenced the Surrealist movement.

Dali Atomicus by Philippe Halsman 

Wig Stall by Nigel Henderson

Here are photos I think show a surrealist bent in their imagery
