Conceptual Surreal Digital Manipulation-Gravity


I found some daguerreotype images online at Deviant Art and thought I would try my hand at a Maggie Taylor inspired image.

With several composite layers and lots of refining edges I ended up with the following image. I used a number of techniques including:


  • Textured layers with blend modes (the textures created from scanning)
  • Scanning
  • Gradient overlays
  • Dodging & burning
  • Free Transforms and distorts etc
  • Colourisation with grey-scale (for the daguerreotype)
The techniques can be found in more detail throughout my blog but if you wish for a tutorial or if you have any questions please dont hesitate to comment
