Another photomontage fantasy. I quite the fun irreverence of this image.

This is another of my photomontage projects using Photoshop. This one looked better in black and white. The various elements are built up on layers, and one important factor is the direction of light and shadow. I try to make my photomontages look as though they could be real...they do not necessarily appear as obvious montage work, or I at least try to leave the viewer guessing. Conflicting directions of light and shdow between elements is an obvious give away.

Well this is the kind of thing that has tended to make up my projects recently. It is a further development of one of a technique used in one of the first posts on this blog, 'the pleasure of martyrs'. This has been constructed on Photoshop using various elements and layers. I did two versions of this, one in colour and one in black and white, but I thought that the colour one looked better.
