Surrelist collage

Artist statement

The project assigned to me was to edit three images together in photoshop in order to make it look surreal. I usead an image of myslef doing a backflip, a fish I caught, and an image i took of the ocean at sunset. I used my iPhone seven to take the photos and photoshop to make the edits. All of the images I took were pretty much strait onto the subject. I didn't try too hard to use different angles because I didn't take any of the images for this project. They were all old images I had save from awhile back. I was very selective with the photos I chose to use because I had a specific image in mind. I specifically wanted to backflip off of a fish(I'm not sure exactly why by that how things panned out.) I didn't end up changing anything from the original image. What your seeing has never changed. I like how the photo is kind of blurry. I made editing in myself doing the flip very easy and it made adding the fish easier to. I could just darken and blur the images a bit and it worked well. It wasn't difficult to pick the right photo because I already had the image of what I wanted in my head. I am interested in continuing to create images with this sort of editing. I think its very interesting to make images that don't look like they could exist. Plus I very much enjoyed the editing part of the project.
