Most of my surreal work are images that marry multiple shots to make a new piece depicting something that would not exist in the real world.
Starting with a background scene I’ve shot, I typically edit in a few additional photographic elements so that, together, they create a realistic looking image, but which is obviously surreal.
I do not use AI generation software or services of any kind. Everything is created by combining different photographic images in Photoshop using traditional photo editing methods.
