Matt Wisniewski Reference

As part of my work towards the Rehash Remix and Edit topic, I have selected digital artist, Matt Wisniewski to research and reference. His pieces combine the beauty of nature with the beauty of the polished models he uses in seamless edits. I particularly love the different angles created, both within the different photos (like in the mountain ranges he often uses) and also with the lighting and shadows (most noticeably on the cheekbones of his chiseled models).

Here are just a few of my edited photos, in the style of Wisniewski's... 

 

 Finally, here is a painting I did of one of my favourite edits. Although I spent a lot of time on it (those tiny trees are real killers!), I am not sure it is entirely successful, because the captivating thing about these pieces are the photos used, I think, which means that a painted version seems to lose some of the appeal.
However, I do think this whole body of work contributed well to the unit, because of the depth and interest in each of the pieces.
