Project 8: Surrealism and Photomontage



My inspiration for this photo was the large bulge in this tree I found in the park. I had Katherine jump off a park bench in order to get the proper pose. While in Photoshop I added the fog she was jumping into and the sunlight coming from the upper left corner, as well as the umbrella to go along with the contrasting weather so often seen in the Pacific Northwest. I also gave her a shadow holding a knife to give it a peculiar and slightly unsettling element. In Lightroom I did some final edits such as adding more warmth and making the orange umbrella pop more.
