Example of Collage - 1989


This photo came from John Hedgecoe's book, The Art of Color Photography-1989 (p. 109). It is a color montage combining six separate images. Can you see them all?

Dessert Anyone?


This image appearing in Workbook 24 (Midwest Photography West, p.616) is done by Philip Nealey Photography and Digital Imaging. The photographer utilizes bright lighting and significant blurring to focus the viewers attention on the inanimate objects. The "WOW" factor is gained by meshing two objects one would not normally picture together.

Photo Out of this World

I enjoyed this photo because of the way the artist incorporated surrealism and the festive atmosphere of a party to capture a very unique occasion. The photographer/designer of this piece is Nick Vedros and his work appears on p. 703 of Workbook 27 - Midwest Photography West

Surrealism at its Finest

Located on page 1014 of Workbook 27, this image uses Salvadore Dali's surrealistic setting to create a compelling piece of photography. (credit - Bonnie Holland - Velvetartist.com).

Color Purple

The digital image is credited to Peer Brecht, represented by Linda Thompson. This picture appears in Workbook 27 (Midwest Photography West). I liked this photo because of the way it illustrated the unique color of the car with the proximity of the painted fingernails.
