Face Painting
I’ve been toying with brushes, masks and blending modes with my merges lately. Granted, I’m always using the three, but not usually so heavily and to such an artistic effect. My older merges were less reliant on the computer (and deliberately so) – I was trying to mimic the analog process as closely as possible [...]

Trashed Cars // Clouds and Trees
As mentioned before, I am head over heels for the process of photomerges without leaning on Photoshop.

The output is no longer analog, but you are still [...]

Sans Souris
Does photographic style really differ from analog to digital? I know that as a digital native (for the most part), it’d be an act of treason to say yes. But if you ask painters about Photoshop, or sculptors about 3D renderings, they’d tell you that there’s a lot to be said for the act of [...]
