Its a Montage (Postcard)


A photomontage of lomo pics and some digi enhance photos + arabsque patterns + christmas items would result to a unique postcards...

Photomontage was or also term as "Compositing" by the professionals or as we say in casual terms "photoshopping" is always considered as an avant garde in the field of photography. Its like the abstract, surrealist, or the modernist something that is conceived by the mind yet not in reality. Somehow Photomontage is aesthetically beautiful and politically inducing. Once an author wrote (Oliver Grau in his book Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion) that the creation of artificial immersive virtual reality, arising as a result of technical exploitation of new inventions, is a long-standing human practice throughout the ages. Such environments as dioramas were made of composited images.

Well, one thing i know about photoshopping, montage making is that its enjoyable to twink and distort or fantasize your photos. As noted its a vision of what your mind can conceive beyond reality and the key point here is to let your imagination run wild.

Famous Photomontage artist includes:
-"The Two Ways of Life" (1857) by Oscar Rejlander
- "Fading Away" (1858) by Henry Peach Robinson
-Salvador Dali
-John Heartfield
-Hannah
