Focus of Beauty

Actual photo of waterfall using tilt shift photography. I love this photo because its real and the view at which its taken really makes you wonder what perspective its take at.. because the river looks so close and small and yet the size of the people make it look so huge. The out of focus waterfall adds to the beauty andy serenity of the piece.

Victor Enrich Architectual genius

Photoshop manipulation and effects created by Victor Enrich, a Spanish photographer who "rips all the science from architecture to create surreal and whimsical variations on existing buildings. A tower unzips, a road goes straight up, and multi-story slides protrude from balconies. These buildings cannot possibly exist, but in a sense, they do."

Type-o-graph me

I found this to be a great example of photomanipulation and typography. The piece was obviously created by using an existing photograph or picture and then the type was put ovver top of it and manipulated and formed in such a way that to resemble somewhat of a Monet paitning in which you wouldnt know the differece between this and a real photo if you squinted your eyes.

You Like My Hair?

I thought this to be a great example of advertising. While creating a magazing for my publication design class, we had to make a page or two consisting of advertisments. In doing research of advertisements I found this hilarious advertisment for a hair product by a company called Tomei. I think it is a great example of how humour can be used in advertisments in order to get the viewer to remember the ad and to think about it.

Plastic Life

This is one example of great photography that I found on an international graphic design sign and this one from a French designer. "Plastic Life" The microworld imagined by French photographer Vincent Bousserez is now captured in print with his new book, Plastic Life. In placing factory manufactured figurines amongst real life surroundings, he creates ironic and poetic scenes using macro photography. The results are tiny people that are dominated by the surrounding world of lifeless giant objects."

Architectural Photomanipulation

I thought this was a great example of how photoshop can make the real seem surreal and vice versa. This is another example of work done by the artist Victor Enrich, who takes real life architecture and manipulates photographs to create a surreal existence.

Photo Manipulation at its best

I thought this was a fantastice example of using photoshop to bend and shape realism to make it surrealism. in this picture the man is splitting his face and as if flippig the pages in a book, he his flipping his face and displaying several media. I think this is a great example of photo manipulation and im quite impressed by the smoothness by which the skin and media are combined. its very realistic and really creates interest.
