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. The 19-year-old photographer manages to produce engaging narratives with each image he shares through his Flickr account, inviting viewers to get lost in their surreal nature. 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. Never short on ideas, Stoddard's portfolio is constantly growing with brand new visuals. With age, the photographer's work appears to go through its own changes, evolving into images with greater depth to them. Some might even say that Stoddard is leading his generation of creative photographers with his innovative vision. Alex Stoddard on Flickr via [iheartmyart]

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. You’ll learn how to correctly extract your images, layer up various effects to create a sense of depth and detail, and create a cool sketchy hand-drawn effect for your photos. Final Image As always, this is the final image we’ll be creating: Step 1 Create a new file with a width of 1500px and a height of 2000 px at 100 dpi (Dots per Inch). Step 2 To start off we’ll use various textures to create a subtle distress background. Reduce opacity to “30%” Now add “8.jpg” as a new layer within the same folder, then hit Command/Ctrl + T and resize to cover the canvas and name it “Texture 2″. 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. Change the layer mode to “hard light” and reduce opacity to “45%” Step 3 Step 4
