Dan Mountford

I have chosen Dan Mountford as one of my Graphic Designer. I like his work and how he uses original photography and adds digital elements into it.Also most of his work has trees and portraits of woman and men in them.

Dan is a 22 year old man born in England, he is a Photographer who uses Digital media applications to give his work a twist (graphic design).

Many people would argue that you can get a better result doing this all in Photoshop and have no need for all the additional use of double exposure in a camera, although I like his end results how he taken the time and his passion into his work shows through in his work.

Here is a few examples of his work that I like and a little description of how he does this.

 I like this photograph as it has a female head, a castle and trees all within same 'portrait' you can see the clearly within the black and white version as well as with the coloured. But how the all line up and blend into each other perfectly, also it has little points to build a structure of the face ( I learned the name of this in Life Skills class but my mind is drawing a blank at the moment.) 
But these lines to me have a Di Vinci influence to them, the way he initially see's the spots then lines and forms a picture within his head - well from watching Di Vinci Demons,the TV Series.
This picture cam from his tumblr account and he has stated which digital media's he has used to make this.

Photoshop, Illustrator and Creative Cloud.

Also here is a few more of Dan Mountford's work I like.

Again a portrait style woman with trees
within.

I like this one as to me almost symbolizes a woman's matter in life .
We as woman are the controllers of life, we get pregnant and give birth nurture and love kids until they branch out on there own. like a tree.

I love that this has a anti-smoking feel to it 

This is a beautifully colourful piece of work so bright and vibrant.but also
 you can see the details of this woman's face.

I really like that at 22 year year old not only is he a successful photographer/graphic designer he is now selling mechanise in the form of clothes.

Below is a list of ways that this type of work is duplicated.
It is not in my works copied from an online article ( I have it saved somewhere , unsure where at the moment but will find it.) , the reason for this is I wanted you all to get the correct information on how to do this and not following my words and it fails on you.

Double Exposure 
Double exposure is a photographic technique that combines 2 different images and combines them into a single image. You can create varied images like a ghost effect, mirror image or simply brightening up a certain image such as a sun. The technique has been practiced for years, recently it has became more popular, due to the fact that graphic editor like Photoshop, Illustrator and Inskape.
