For this post I wanted to experiment with the overlay feature using previously taken images, combining them together as a result. My aim from this was to create abstract, even surreal images by presenting everyday objects and things in weird ways. By doing this I would like to see if the method could take my imagery further, and potentially be a key use in upcoming shoots in the next few weeks. The software I’d have to use to create the desired outcomes would be Adobe Photoshop due to it providing the widest range of adjustments used on photos, here is the process of how I created the various images using the overlay feature: Once I had finished experimenting with a few of my previously taken images I decided to create five that I thought best reflected the overall outcome that I wanted the best. When doing this I wanted to incorporate contrasting environments or similar ones, this way each image would reflect something similar or different, rather having no link whatsoever. Here are some of my final and favorite outcomes from this experimentation:

When looking over my final pieces I found I particularly liked the ones which had a manipulated circle within the center, this was because to me it provided a contrasting perspective into the image, presenting a clearer or more distorted viewpoint. This as a result for me not only looked aesthetic but also produced a meaning behind each photograph.
