His collection of mosaic portraits made up of slightly tilted Polaroid photos lined up to show each subject from three different angles. The images seem to capture the celebrities deep in thought, sometimes leaning their head down or placing a hand on their chin. All portraits are arranged in the same order, but the collages are as different as the stars who populate them.

My Example Of Julian Wolkenstein

This Photoshop edit is inspired by the photographer Julian Wolkenstein, where you will be producing two mirror image portraits of my model. An example of this photographer's work can be seen on my before post.

This is an image by Julian Wolkenstein who uses the idea of reflection in their work. Most human faces are not completely symmetrical and this style of image can prove this. I like how you can get two completely different images from one portrait just by flipping half of it.I perticulary like this image as the first time i have seen it i did not know that it was flipped or had anything done to only when i was told so. it's very interesting to see how what we used to believe isnt really true.

MAXIME QUOILINE MY EXAMPLE

This photoshop edit is based on the photographer Maxime Quoilin, where i combined a 'Silhouette' portrait with the 'face-On' portrait. An example of the photographer's work can be seen on my artist research the i have uploded.

Maxime Quoilin

This a famous image by photographer Maxime Quoilin due to how differet the perspective is. The style includes 2 images using the blending mode option on photoshopl. The first image is a silhouette which is a side profile photograph and the second image is shot face-on. The way the images are put together lines some of the facial features up which gives a kind of optical-illusion which i especially like about this image. Another thing I like about this image is how muted the colours are which works well with the bokeh and gives an overall soft look.

Matt Wiseniewski artist reasearch

Wisniewski has created a particularly successful iteration by overlaying portraits with organic patterns—from flowers to jagged peaks to a Rorschach blot. He came to the combination through experimentation.

For his image of a bearded man in a diaphanous red coat, Wisniewski found an overlay photo that “fit well and had a similar shape to his body.” Although many of his portraits eschew color, the red hue of the overlay image appealed to him. “I just thought it looked interesting.”

He once said "Initially I take a number of portraits and textures I’d like to use and experiment with quick overlays. Once I find a combination that works I’ll expand on it. In terms of technical stuff the actual overlay is as simple as using lighten or multiply in Photoshop. Most of the work is deciding positioning and what parts of each image to show, cleaning things up and matching contrast.

Matt Wisniewski my example

This is my example image inspired by Matt Wisniewski's work. For this photoshoot the theme was fashion so the model did a different kind of  poses. I also took a series of landscape photographs that I could combine with the portrait in photoshop. I imported the images and selected the clothes using the mask tool, then inversed the mask so the clothes were selected and rub them out using the eraser tool at 10% opacity. Which allowed me to  control how much of the portrait was rubbing out and therefore how much the image underneath was coming through. After the double-exposure affect was finished I selected the background using the quick-select tool and painted it white using the brush tool. This gives the fashion magazine affect as there is no distracting details in the background and usually in fashion magizines they add info on the makeup or clothes etc. The white background makes the words easier to read.
