Richard Roberts: Surrealism

I think I may also decide to do a surreal landscape. These can appear like real photos yet they portray a depth and paint like contour. It is almost science fiction, but if Im able to pull it off correctly I might be able to create a really fun masterpiece :)
Here are some more by the same artist:

Jerry Uelsmann: Surrealism

I really enjoy the work of this artist because of the sense of surreality it leaves me with. I like how he only uses black and white to provoke the viewer's emotion. When I look at other artists surreal photos, I do not get very excited, however this artist motivates me. These photos are realistic, but they are not completely pretend, they weave together well which is soft on the eye, and it makes them believable.

Digital Darkroom

This photo I played with color. The background was blurred out. The color was saturated then lightened. I fixed a lot of the blemishes on the statue. I tried to get the light in the color statue to mix with the black and white tones in the background.

This photo I decided to make more of a surreal effect on it. I wanted to bring out the color of the sign by making the rest of the photo dull. I played with the exposure of the leaves to give it an interesting look. Antique, maybe beach retro is what I was going for.

Digital Darkroom

This was originally shot in black and white. I corrected all of its flaws on the petals and then had fun with the rest. I tried to highlight the details of the petals instead of blurring or softening them to create a texture made by contrast.

I decided to choose this rose because I wanted to intensify to pink color. I also wanted to make to contrast of the shadow darker. Ultimately I tried to add a texture to the rose and try to preserve its soft appeal.
