New Amazingly Surreal Portraits by 19-Year-Old Alex Stoddard One of our favorite young photographers, Alex Stoddard, continues to expand his collection of creative images, offering an endless source of inspiration for his peers.

His latest additions are no exception as they provide visions of unconventional beauty in the bodies of frail individuals engulfed in smoke, limp figures writhing on a beach, and the haunting presence of a man soaked in blood.

Learn How to Design a Charming Collage Composition Learn How to Design a Charming Collage Composition Today we’re going to learn how to create a super creative collage effect, using a range of photo manipulation, blending and compositional techniques.

Change the Blend Mode to Overlay and lower its Opacity to 65%. Place “2.jpg” from the “source” folder as a new layer within the same folder.

Breathtaking Surreal Self Portraits by 20-Year-Old Rachel Baran 20 years old U.S.-based photographer Rachel Baran creates powerful surreal and conceptual self portraits … Rachel Baran Lorenzo Agius extracted by me from his site 100 фотографий в посте. The Art of Sandra Chevrier - Sandra Chevrier currently lives in Montreal, Quebec. She is a gaze collector, an idea chaser and a full time single mom. Her work takes her traveling over a broad range of fluctuating emotional enigmas and concepts that have set the standard of our modern communication. She exposes the limitations within our world, our self-imposed expectations and the cages we have allowed to bar us from fullness of life’s experience. Her work is shown in Canada as well as in the United States, United Kingdom and in Norway. The series "cages" is about women trying to find freedom from society's twisted preconceptions of what a woman should or shouldn't be. Sandra uses collage or loose and heavy textures of paint that make the woman seem to be emerging from the surreal world within the canvas. Sandra Chevrier's Webpage
