CDIA Showcase - Photo Illustration


Tonight Robert Severi gave a talk on photo illustration. Through the use of photographs and Photoshop, one is able to create an image that can be real or surreal. A key point to photo illustration is taking lots of pictures for components and making sure each component can be individually adjusted. Robert showed us a few photo illustrations which he created with previous CDIA classes as well as his own creations. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to photo illustration is coming up with ideas. Robert draws inspiration from artists like Salvador Dali, childhood memories and his imagination to create images. Great examples of photo illustration can be seen on Robert's website www.robertseveri.com.
