Project 8 - Surrealism and Photomontage

           This project was mainly focusing on cutting up different photos in photoshop and piecing them together to make a design or image that seems surreal or unrealistic. The following images are put together by cutting out and masking the main objects and then refining the cutting with the brush tool. Some of the objects in the images are from the same photo but have different effects on them.


This first montage is my favorite and was the hardest to put together because of all the different photo pieces I had to cut out. First I made the background a textured wall, then I added pieces of a chair and the hands in the lower and right part. After that I layered the eyes and the jaws to create a surreal situation. 

 The next montage I made was much easier because I didn't have to cut out as many pieces. The person in the background is my friend Gaby and I made her have a cartoonish affect. Then I added my cat three times with different effects.

 This third montage is my second favorite and it took a little longer to make then the previous one because of all the precision it took to make the photos fit together. I tried to create a creepy surreal effect, and I changed the colors to make the image fit together.

Finally I have the simplest montage which is also the most realistic. It is a combination of two photos and could be seen as one image because the lighting fits together so well. I liked the calm mood this photo contains.
