THE SURREAL

"Creativity is not just based on having great ideas,

the real ingenuity is in pondering and

  pre-resolving all foreseeable obstacles."

(Lopez-Espina, 2018)

As many artists and photographers realize, Photoshop is an amazing software capable of accomplishing whatever the mind dares to imagine. I’m a self-taught Photoshop user, though for many years I had the pleasure of teaching this amazing program to thousands of people of all ages.    

When putting together photographs, as seen in the samples below, one must have a keen sense of light direction and strength. The subjects one chooses should possess the same angle of perspective, while the proportion between each element has to be correct. Let’s not forget all the precise shadows the user has to create. Fair to say, these demands become much easier for individuals with an art background.
