Photo Art or Photo-Software Skills?

Some people think it’s ‪#‎ART‬: a flower against a black background. For me it’s just skills but I know that if I add a nice story to it this image will increase in value. Just a thought on a Sunday morning.

(replaced the original garden background with black plus texture)

Shot from the roof

I make most of my pictures in and around our house but was never on top. Those few meters make a difference. Note: color of background is influenced by sea mist (and not Photoshop).

Imaginary: Feet are made for walking

For this imaginary I used 23 different (refined) textures for the background. Here and there I added the running kids, my feet and other (hardly visible) objects between the layers. For the ‘finishing touch’ I used (with many times an ‘undo’) the ‘content aware’ tool of Photoshop.

This imaginary is inspired by the Russian born artist Marc Chagall. All used images were made within a radius of 2 km from my home.

Imaginary Street Art 4

Some name it murals most others say it’s graffiti and there are also people who call it street art.

Paintings are perishable and so are wall paintings, graffiti, murals etc. I’m not a painter but I can photoshop a little bit hence my Imaginary Street Art (or is it ‘Imaginary Murals’ etc.?).

I don’t have any illusions; even my imagination is perishable.

This is one of the imaginaries out of a serie of 10. As background for this one I used a 200+ yrs old wall.

In the background the Klein Rivier Mountains.
