In one of the first lessons in this course we listened to a Eric Johansson speak about his process for photographing his surreal images. This week we are going to use the photos taken Friday to create our own surreal imagery.

On Friday's photo shoot we used props to incorporate objects into a photograph playing with proportion and scale. Some examples are shown below:
Using the Photoshop skills you have gained, you are going to add objects, or a person, into the friday's images to create a surreal landscape.
An example and demonstration will be given in class today.
SAMPLE 1 - ADDING YOU
STEP 1: Select and image from Friday's shoot and incorporate an image of you (an existing or take an image) into the photo. Drag the layer into your selected image and clip out background, you will need to use the POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL to clip around the edges or you.
STEP 2: Use the SMART BRUSH TOOL to change the colours of objects in the image to look unrealistic.
STEP 3: Add a natural element to your image to increase the surreal feel of your image.
