The Kiss
This is an experimental composite image I put together earlier today. My goal was to combine two photographs and textures into a surreal finished work to be interpreted by the viewer. The base image is a portrait I shot about tens years ago. It is composited with an image of an old man kissing someones hand. Various textures were also added along the way. To me the finished work resembles a diagonal slash of a face draped in folded fabric. The results while being a long way from conventional photography, do meet my goals pretty well.
