Final Surreal Images

Here is one of the final images for our Surreal section. This image was composed from two images, ( one taken in Paddington Central and one taken on Brighton beach). I decided to make it a more subtle type of surrealism. Some people might say that this is not actually surrealism as it is, in some way, possible for a jet-ski to get on the canal, however i wanted to make it more playful and have fun with it and as it is most likely illegal to jet-ski down a small canal i believe this counts as surrealism.


For this image I wanted to play with the original concept of this well-known game and again keep it a simple form of surrealism. I wanted it to almost look as if the hand belonged there and similar to Erik Johansson by making the audience notice it gradually.



For the final image I wanted to keep it playful and humorous like the other images and have fun creating something abnormal. This is not so subtle like the previous pictures and immediately the audience knows it has been manipulated. This is the case with many surrealist artists and I wanted to show the different sides of surrealism.
