Amalgamation

Contrbuted by A Garver


Ok so I know this isn't exactly traditional photography. Part of that is due to my inability to remember to upload some new pictures from my camera. All that aside I do like to take different photos I've taken and create a totally different product with an abstract vibe that resembles painting. I really wanted to bring this image to life by the color variations between warm and cool as well as complementary colors. Second I wanted to create an interesting aesthetic and feeling of texture through the organic lines that guide the eye around the image. I once again used one of my signature technique by putting both of these images in index color mode, uploading different color table and inverting the images and using blending modes on the various layers. I decided to title this composition Amalgamation because it is a combination of two photos with entirely different moods. Further more it reminds me of when you put different drops of food coloring in water and it kind of swirls and create this momentary swirl of varying colors before dissipating. So I kind of feel its capturing a sense of momentary fluidity and interest before becoming mundane.
I could go on but I'll let you judge for yourself I'd be interested to hear your input thanks.
