I moved all of my edited images into photoshop, and experimented with combining two images in the same way as Harvey-Reagan.

I wanted to combine the pliers and clutch lever together as I feel they have a very similar shape, so I position the image of the clutch lever to line up to one side of the pliers, and used the clone stamp tool to cover the rest of the canvas, before cutting off half of the canvas with a selection tool. I liked how this had turned out, but I wanted the two images to have a similar colour palette so they would blend together a lot better.

Using the available adjustments presets that were on photoshop, I played around with different ones until I was left with a composition I wanted to keep, the image on the left being the result.

These three compositions are what I came up with using Harvey-Reagan as inspiration. I do think they capture his work quite well, but I also feel that I’ve put my own spin on it by keeping the backgrounds of the images and using objects such as the vice and clutch lever. This photoshoot was enjoyable, but I’m not too sure if this will be something I use again in my own work other than the photomontage element of this.
