I’m Obsessed With Trick Photography And I Want You To Be A Part Of It
How often have you looked at a photo and thought, ‘how did they do that?’ Among a sea of selfies and food shots some photographs are so intriguing or beautiful that they demand your attention and make you wonder. But what might be a passing interest for some, for me is an obsession. I’ve spent years studying trick photography and Photoshop techniques because knowing how a photo was created enhances the magic for me rather than ruining it.
A year ago I decided I wanted to become an expert in trick photography so I started the Exposing Illusions project. Every week on my website I create an image using a different photography technique and then write a tutorial about how the image was made to teach others the process. My focus this year has been on Photoshop compositing, but next year will be about in-camera techniques. The images I’ve created so far are primarily self-portraits which aim to tell imaginative stories that elate, inspire and provide an escape from the boredom of life’s routines. Join me to look behind the curtain!

Like some, but not them all. I bet a lot of time was spent post processing them.
