Creating a Triptych in Photoshop

Mindblowing analog photography

Jessica Eaton  just blew my mind. Literally.


"Using a wide array of experimental, analogue-based photographic techniques such as colour separation filters, multiple exposures, dark slides and in-camera masking Jessica Eaton builds images on sheets of 4x5 film that address fundamental properties of photography such as light, chance, duration, illusion and spatial relations. - Clint Roenisch, Gallery.
Eaton says; “I often set up parameters for phenomena to express itself. In the best of cases I push things so that the response comes in ways that I could not have thought up until I was shown it on film. Once you get to see or experience something you can use it. Then you can use it to see something else.”

Don’t worry about being exact in your choice of shots as there’s nothing stopping you, subsequently, adding or leaving out images. A website such as fotolia.com has plenty of images of animals, while for free images of birds, specifically, try sxc.hu. Read more...
