Surrealism and Photomontage

I really liked and found interesting the surrealism images that were creepy and really weird. So for this image, I wanted to give it a creepy and uncomfortable feel, which I did by using different faces and blending them into the bushes. I used four different people for this image and each one has a different opacity and layer filter. I did this to add variation to the image so it looks visually interesting. I thunk this photo demonstrates surrealism because of the weirdness and creepiness of the image. 

For this photo, I wanted to go all out on the weirdness because the surrealisms that stood out to me were the ones that were really crazy. I started out with the photo of the statue as my background. I took a photo of a waterfall and cut out one of the strands of water and duplicated it, and put it coming out of the statue to make it look really weird and unusual. Then I cut out a picture of Aubrey's face wearing a mask and put a dark light filter to make the silver stand out and look creepy. I also turned down the opacity. Then I cut out a picture of a mirror that I took in a garden and added it to the wall. I added Aubrey's face in the reflection of the mirror without the stature to make the image weirder. To make the face look more realistic in the reflection, I used the perspective transformation and turned down the opacity.
