The Glider
Using Photoshop skills I create new works of art. I can alter color, resize, reshape, and meld images together to create whatever illustrative or photo-real effects are needed.
This image is an example of different photos seamlessly blended and edited into something more than the sum of its parts. I employed various masking effects and semi-transparent layers, along with judicious painting and tinting, to create to create a mood that perfectly suited the poster art for this play, reaching back in a way that is somehow both nostalgic and foreboding.
The dock and some of the water and was masked and copied from the first photo and layered on to the second. This includes the very fine details of the outlines of the hooks and their reflections in the water. The water blends subtly in the edges of one photo to the next, appearing to go from shallow to deep. After blending the two images, I augmented the colors of the sunrise, then used some of those colors to tint the dock and water, making the light correct for the whole of the new composite image.
