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.

    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.comย if I need
