the message I am trying to convey with my surreal composition is to capture what it would look like in a post apocalyptical setting. I wanted to use the broken and torn down buildings to really show emphasis on how our society can slowly decay over time if we ever live long enough. The ghost figure that is shown walking down the street is reminiscing of a time when it used to be peaceful.
Some techniques that I found that were really useful to this project would be the blend modes. I was able to use the blend modes to create a more abstract image and or make the photo shop image better by bring up more contrast in the image or bringing up some of highlights.
Some thought i had into creating the surreal project is trying to make by photo as abstract as possible. That was a failed approach so i resorted to making something that is more realistic, and how it could really happen in the future. Realistic compositions are more rewarding in the message they present but abstract compositions and surreal compositions are more fun and give better emotion when portraying a message.
