Photo-Manipulation Genius

Photo-Manipulation by C Gilbert

In doing some research during my lunch period today I came across some photo manipulations by Christophe Gilbert. (His work was featured in one of the psdTut articles.) I found his website and browsed through some of his photos. It's artsy stuff - lots of nudes too, but it's beautiful work that has some rather deep pathos. Looks like he's done quite a number of advertizement photo-manipulations too. One I really looked at was interesting. There were lots of people in the photograph and all of their faces were obscured, all except that of the happy person in the car. He has a lot of women he's airbrushed white and changed the colors of their eyes and done things like what you see in the photo - I'd never have thought to make the eye look like a ring in that way. Talk about creative perceptions!

Another article I looked at was about LSD Photography based in Italy. The next photo is something that resonated with me. I grinned and couldn't wait to share it. I don't think that men who cry are babies, but the point is obvious with this photo - so much so that it doesn't need any explanation to get the idea across. That's what I call effective photography/art.

And here's one more photo manipulation from a different company based in Spain called Garrigosa Studios. Talk about seamless manipulations! I can't imagine having the tools and ability (and imagination) to create things like these. I'm super impressed by this sort of thing and would love to eventually be able to create things like this in my own work. But there's very little call for this kind of photo manipulation in my line of work.
