Beyond Reality: Crafting Seamless Digital Compositions

This project delves into photo manipulation and digital compositing using Adobe Photoshop. By combining at least three distinct images, the goal was to create a seamless and believable new scene through careful masking, blending, and color adjustment. The challenge lay in merging unrelated elements while maintaining realistic lighting, perspective, and texture. The final composition showcases both technical precision and creative vision, transforming multiple sources into a cohesive and imaginative visual narrative.

This piece is a composite built from three different photographs, blended together in Photoshop to form a single cohesive image. The process involved masking, layering, and color matching to merge the elements smoothly while keeping the final portrait natural and expressive. Additional retouching and tonal adjustments helped tie the composition together and give it a polished, editorial feel.

In this project, I created a composite image that blends a human eye with natural elements, turning the waterfall into an extension of vision and emotion. I focused on smooth blending, realistic lighting, and harmony between textures to create a surreal yet believable scene. The artwork reflects the connection between humans and nature, transforming simple images into a meaningful visual moment.
