Chequamegon Bollinger - Image using layers – Week 3



Chequamegon Bollinger

Image using layers – Week 3
Sam Falls







This raster image was created by Sam Falls for a brand called Common Projects. Sam Falls is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. His work explores ideas of time passing and the visual changes that occur when trying to remember an image or a color. 


I chose this image because it’s an interesting example of reality manipulation using layers in Photoshop. He also uses a negative technique to obscure the figure further. By adding different color transparency layer the images becomes similar to a painting while keeping the photographic realism. The perspective is also very interesting with the figure hiding behind the cacti; it could be viewed as another layer.
