I Create Surreal Photos Of My Pets Using Photoshop (Part 2)
I’m a UK based photographer called Tracy Willis and I create artwork from many different shots taken both on my Canon 5D Mark III and my iPhone SE. I am always grabbing pictures of random things when I am out and about luckily my friends and family have gotten used to this.
The final images take many hours to create. I firstly have to think up the idea, build the story, I normally sketch it out and then I find the right subjects to photograph, I own 5 dogs, 2 rabbits, and 2 mice so have plenty of subjects at home, I can then borrow any extras I need such as the cat below. I have to photograph each element needed for the image as I don’t use any stock images and I have a very friendly local pet shop who also allow me to photograph all the animals and reptiles etc I may need such as the goldfish below.
Once I have these I then photograph the subject/s in my studio at home and then I spend days putting them together using Adobe Photoshop, the cat and goldfish bowl consisted of 83 layers in Photoshop. Sometimes the story changes as I develop the image, other times I create exactly what is in my head. These images allow me to expand my mind as a full-time photographer, be creative and free my mind.

These are wonderful. You are a very talented storyteller with your images! I'm not trying to belittle your work, but I could see your work illustrating a kid's story that even adults would buy for the beauty of it.

Wonderful idea and expertly executed! I love the creativity and the fairytale like quality to it mixed with the romatic and cozy everyday life! Absolutely brilliant, you got a new fan in me!

This info is quite interesting. Thanks! Indeed, you know how to create something special and share your knowledge with other specialists. I am in search of the company that can provide good digital photo retouching services and editouch & fixthephoto.com seem to be the good choice. Photo art edit is the difficult task for me, and I need well-qualified retouch artists.

Very extraordinary photo manipulations, cool style! I wanted to retouch in this genre, but image manipulations are not my strong points. I send my works to online photo retouching services like fixthephoto.com if I need
