putting the surreal into portraits

in Photography Lovers3 years ago (edited)

So when i became a portrait photographer i didn't want to be your run of the mill portrait photographer as im a very creative person and have been playing around in photoshop for year.

So i decided to go down the surreal route putting things in the photo that just shouldn't be there below is a portrait photoshoot i did for a model friend of mine she wanted something different to add to her portfolio...

I will show the before and after of a few examples.....

I used a Blue LED light to add the blue light on location to help get the look i wanted in post

on this one i simple asked amy to look at a point on the wall and made sure i left enough space around her to add the jellyfish

here is a different style from the same shoot

I think this adds so much to a standard portrait photoshoot what do you think and again if you would like a more detailed tutorial on how to do this drop it in the comments ...

Pretty cool effects. I really like the portrait with the mushrooms.
