Surreal Photography-Reading Enlightens you-

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi guys,

Today I want to share a surreal picture that I have created a few months ago for a photomanipulation contest. The concept I wanted to express with my picture is that reading brings you to an upper level of consciousness, while watching Tv induces you into a passive state where your imagination is tied up. Of course it depends on what you read ;-)

The following pictures are the ones used to create the final image.

I first took a photo of the empty room

Then I photographed the guy on the chair.

After I shot the guy holding a chain over the Tv, I needed to do that in order to let the Tv hang on the ceiling in photoshop

I took this photo to select only the book in photoshop

And finally I took a picture of the girl

After taking all the pictures I went home and I started working on photoshop :-)

All the pictures have been taken with a Canon 5d MkII + Canon ef 17-40

I hope you like this post and feel free to resteem if you want.

Very interesting. Did you do a workflow video of your photoshop work?

Thanks, I never done it, but I'm thinking of doing it. Unforunately I'm not really good explaining things

You don't need to explain anything :). Just watching you work would be awesome.

Really beautiful end result, and excellent post breaking down how the picture was taken!! Upvoting and following :) Would love to see a wee photoshop tutorial at some point if you have time ;) ;)

Woah, this is crazy man! I've never gotten into it but I've always loved this type of work.
