Hello there
I was wondering if someone can help.
Generally I am a normal landscape photographer but I also would like to create surreal minimal lanscapes in Ps. For ages now I've been trying to get to grips with creating these surreal minimal landscapes and every time I lose heart. I am aiming for BW and muted/desaturated colour imagery.
I can't seem to get to grips with creating the atmospheric ambience that I need, and also putting it all together seemlessly, right down to the shadowing and detail.
I have long admired Yves Lecoq's (Flickr) work (his sinister images rather than his humerous images)...
www.flickr.com/photos/yveslecoq/
...it's all about creating the right light but most importantly that eerie ambience.
That eerie ambient atmosphere is more evident with someone I just found on Flickr...
www.flickr.com/photos/mindazonaltal/
...her ladders image is typical of what I would like to do.
Can someone point me to some tutorial that might help me please? Does a step by step tutorial exist in a past edition of Photoshop Creative? If not, can one be done? I tour the world of DeviantArt but even there there is nothing I can find that will get me on my way. I'm trying to find a tutorial that I can apply to any image. I know how to select and paste and I know how to dodge and burn (essential I think) but I can't find anything concrete.
Keywords I am trying to achieve: ethereal, fog, light, moody, surrealism, black and white, minimalism, fantasy.
Many thanks for your help.
