Surreal Photomontage:
Combining photos together
Combining photos together
•Element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions.
2. The Project Requirements & Overview:
1. The work should combine 2 to 5 images into a single image.
2. Should access the surreal, things that can only happen in a subconscious reality. You could combine nature or people with man-made objects.
3. How can you show us the magic of photography to transform reality into dream? Create something that appears real, but yet surely cannot be...
