In this designer's notebook 9 photographers/artists share 9 techniques in creating various types on photomontages. Anyone interested in merging photography and Photoshop will want to take a closer look at this book. Each "studio" (technique) is very clear outlined and has very good examples of the entire process. I am amazed at several of the techniques described in this book. While originally written in French, nothing is lost in the English translation. This book will definitely help you add to both your photography and Photoshop skills.
What is covered:
Exotic Products - product imagery
A War of Inches - weight loss montage using human model and measuring tape
Taking Flight - a montage of clothes flying in laundry mat - special effects
The Perfume Woman - Merging of human model into product imagery
The High-Tech Child - Futuristic montage of child with sci-fi headgear
Shadows and Light - a montage study of light and shadow of a building
A Woman of Parts - Human model montage to create an artistic montage
From Woman to Angel - Human Model turned into a fairy
On the Web, Rain or Shine - A light and humorous subject montage
This designer's notebook covers several techniques and subjects. The creativity contained in the "notebook" is beyond simple words, it is outlined and explained very well.
