Product Description

"Surreal Digital Photography" covers the use of digital imaging software to turn digital photographs into artistic works through montage or colour enhancements. It demonstrates the techniques involved through practical projects, many of which produce a "surrealist" end result. The book is broken down to cover landscape, portrait, and studio photography, and the methods involved can be used to create amazing results from any digital photos. Creative showcase sections also highlight the best work from dynamic digital artists, with breakdowns to show the behind-the-scenes work. The book combines practical techniques with a more artistic approach to digital imaging, where it’s not just about fixing problems or creating realistic results, but about exercising the imagination and being more playful with your photography.

Not just another Photoshop manual, but an exciting exploration of artistic digital-imaging.

Each page packed with beautiful Images to tempt the eye and engage the mind.

A book for artists, photographers, and digital designers.

A breakthrough book for the art of digital imaging that crosses the line between art and digital design.

Clear tutorials cover every major technique used in the book.

Customer Reviews

Great book for learning tricks in Photoshop
This book has a lot of good information. The pictures described in this book are fascinating and gets the creative juices flowing. This author is very thorough and meticulous about describing the techniques used in the images presented. Good for the ameture photoshop user because it is easy to understand.

Not the greatest Photoshop book available
Not for the beginner. Nice picts, but not much direction for the novice user. Needs more tutorial info.

Good book, Need exercise files.
This is a good book for opening your mind to the creative possibilities possible with digital photographs and Photoshop. The author showcases many different projects that employ many different techniques in Photoshop. While he does step you through each project, he does not hold your hand with each step, so I would not recommend this book for absolute beginners, but for those who know how to use layers, masks, etc.

I only wish that the image files used in each project were available for download so the reader could work through each project in the book. The book would be infinitely more useful if this were the case.
