What is Creative portraiture?

Not only focusing on the subject, creative photography is an exploration of the human mind and feelings as well as society as a whole. Therefore, creative portraiture artists frequently combine the past with present and explore different forms of physiology and philosophy. Probably the most important aspect of creative portraiture would be the use of modern technology in order to distort the subject and image; this form of editing on the photograph allows this type of portrait photography to differ from most other sub-genres of portraiture.

Technique

For my Tyler Spangler inspired edit, I first used the threshold option in order to completely desaturate the image, creating a grainy chiaroscuro effect. I then used the Lasso tool to create a wavy effect for the tear stream which I filled with a water pattern; also using this pattern for the background.
