You got the skill in photography, you indulge yourself and consume a whole day doing a mouse click and keystrokes.  You have superb photos, but are this the best output you dreamt of? Why not try a collaboration of photograph and graphic design to achieve more appealing and eye catching photos.  Combine different graphical elements to easily convince even the most expensive set of eyes.

But to do this, you must have the creative skills to come up with an unrealistic sets of images.  Gather ideas, browse with the masterpieces of the masters, be creative on your own way.

And to give you the spark to start the fire on you, here are a set of beautiful photo manipulation done by Kevin ‘Gunfire’ Nitschmann.

As a result of being frustrated because I’m not able to draw a single line straight with a pencil in the real world I watched out for virtual possibilities to be creative.

Starting in 2005 with Photoshop CS2 I’m now a proud owner my very own copy of Photoshop CS4 Extended. Using many different sources of inspiration I got to know a broad range of techniques which are reflected in my works. After understanding the basics I did a bit of hobby based photo retouching which was supposed to look as natural as possible and then went on to photo manipulations with all the surreal colors and shapes added to a photo afterwards.
My favourite style of art is the category of 3D abstract artwork and because of that I wanted to learn more about it and did some renders on my own.
