Seung Woo Back fantasy landscapes

This artist creates fantasy landscapes by taking many different photos and incorporating them together to create unusual, interesting and unique images. His work has been edited to perfection to make the image look completely realistic. The pyramid image is my favourite as i love how well the pyraimds fit into the simple bridge background and they look so realistic, like builders work at the side of the road. The 'fantasy' objects aren't too crazy there quite subtle in the sense that they blend into the image and create such a realistic look.

                   The colours in these images are fairly neutral and not very bright. This works well as having bright images would make it look unrealistic and ruin the fantasy subtle landscape look. There is a noticeable contrast in these images, the built up working city area with either nature or a well presented famous building incorporated. I like how there are buildings faded in the background to show the normality of the area around the fantasy section. By looking at these images it shows me that it doesnt matter where or what you photograph as long as you can edit it perfectly in photoshop and the object your adding in to the image is interesting. I found it difficult to create as it was my first time making an image like this and i think i should of reffered back to my research more whilst taking my photo as i know i could of made it look a lot better if i had! It would of given me more ideas and more inspiration.

I think that in the future i may reffer back to this artist as i really like their work, it's very unusual and interesting and these images have worked extremely well. Showing that a dingy building site at the side of a busy road can be manipulated and created into something completely different, suddenly looking like the builders have made pyramids! Its a very artistic style of photography which i always find interesting as i love an artistic side to images, you can manipulate them in so many different ways. Layering, stitching, painting...the choices are endless!

Fantasy Landscapes - image one

My image

This is my fantasy landscape image, it has similarities to the image above of Seung Woo Back as i have added the lanmposts and she has added the trees. This was a first attempt at creating a fantasy landscape and i found it quite hard creating the image on photoshop as there was a lot of detail from the lamp-posts i had to cut out. I think i could of made this image a little bit more interesting by adding some more things to it, i could of added tress or a unusual building like the image above. As a first experiment i am happy with what i have created as i feel it is a fantasy landscape and something like this would look especially good at night with the street lamps lit up along the side of the train track.

It was very simple the way i did it but very fiddley on photoshop! I took the photo of the train track then took a photo of a lamp-post outside a pub next to Branston river. I cut out the lamp-post as carefully as i could on photoshop and added onto the train track image, duplicating the lamp-post and repeating it over again down the side of the train track. The down side to this task was we only had Burton to try and create an interesting image which is always difficult as Burton isnt somewhere you would see as a fantasy place to live but i tried my best and i am pleased with the final outcome.
