Welcome to Image Manipulation!
Welcome to the Digital Post Production Blog!
This blog is a supplement to our class time and is a resource for ideas and information relating to manipulated photographs and how they are created and interpreted.
* This blog does not replace the syllabi or the assigned readings for this class.
It does gives examples and links to information discussed (and even some not mentioned) in class. Feel free to browse and to ask questions about any of the material covered here.
Artist GoWatanabe's hauntingly beautiful digital portrait is just one example of what can be created in the age of digital photography. We will discuss it and many other artists and ideas during this course.

1.Diptychs and Triptychs
1.Diptychs and Triptychs
Definition: Diptych and Triptych are terms that traditionally refer to paintings of two or three panels, which are usually hinged . We borrow the terms to refer to photographic prints that have two or three photographs on them.
Sally Mann
William Wegman
David Hilliard - triptych example
John Coplans
George McCarten - diptych example
More examples by George McCarten
Assignment #1: We will be using either two or three images for our first assignment. No matter how many photographs you use, be sure that each one is well composed, exposed and imagined photograph first. Then it can be paired with one or two other equally well made photographs to make a successful Diptych or Triptych.
The images shown below are example of artists who use multiple photographs.
• Try looking at just 2 or 3 of any of the images of The Bechers or Duane Michals and imagine they might work as a diptych or triptych.
Studies
Bernd and Hilla Becher
Narrative
Duane Michals
Bill Durgin

2.Photo Montage and Enchanted Landscape
PHOTOMONTAGE

• When possible I've included links to more images, click on the artist's name to be linked to more images.
PHOTOMONTAGE
These images make no attempt to fool us. They make dreamlike combinations of images, that are cut out and placed over one another.

Joan Fontcuberta
In the “Landscapes of Landscapes” series, Fontcuberta feeds the software fragments of pictures by Turner, Cézanne, Dalí, Stieglitz, Weston, and others, forcing the program to interpret a variety of landscape masterworks as “real.” The contours and tones of these painted and photographic landscapes are transformed into three-dimensional mountains, rivers, valleys, and clouds.

While we cannot do anything quite like Joan Fontcuberta's in Photoshop, it is an interesting idea for the creation of Landscape imagery.
ENCHANTED LANDSCAPES
The images in this section are more subtly blended. We recognize that they are "odd" or not quite right, but we have to investigate to figure out how. Often times we can't fully decipher what has been done.
