MAN RAY
Man Ray(born Emmanuel Rancidity, August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976) was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in France. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media (such as photography) but considered himself a painter. He was best known for his photography, and he was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. Man Ray is also noted for his work with photo grams, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself.
Women with Long Hair - This photo was taken in 1929
A every surreal photograph, this shows a women lying on her back with her head falling over the edge of may be a box, which shows off the length of the lines of her wavy blonde hair that has draped down, giving full focus to her hair, face and shoulders. The photograph is taken in black and white background, which gives no description to where she is. She is lying with her eyes closed she looks like she is peaceful. With no expression on her face which leaves us to think is she dead. There is dirt on her neck and cloths. As you look at the photo were are her arms? There is also an eerie setting to the photograph. This has been take from a mid point view and has her head in view. the photographer looks like he/she has used a low ISO i would say around 400, because of the darkness around the main view point of the image(down the middle), also a high depth of field has been used to blur out the background.

Erik Johansson
Erik Johansson is a photographer and retoucher from Sweden based in Prague, Czech Republic and Sweden. He is working on both personal and commissioned projects with clients all around the world. Erik doesn't capture moments, he captures ideas. With the help of his camera and Photoshop the goal is to make it look as realistic as possible.
This is a very bright image take by Erik Johannson, it has been taken form a birds i view i know this because we can see over the assistance head and the far landscape, the rule of thirds has been used to capture the road the assistant and the river and trees.i like this image because of the mix between natural and man made combination, it also shows how man made can alter the natural landscapes.
TOMMY INGBERG
Tommy Ingberg is a photographer and visual artist, born 1980 in Sweden. He works with photography and digital image editing, creating minimalistic and self-reflecting surreal photo montages dealing with human nature, feelings and thoughts.Tommy leaves the interpretation of his work up to the viewer but says, "For me, surrealism is about trying to explain something abstract like a feeling or a thought, expressing the subconscious with a picture. For my work I use my own inner life, thoughts and feelings as seeds to my pictures. In that sense the work is very personal, almost like a visual diary. Despite this subjective in the process I hope that the work can engage the viewer in her or his own terms. I want the viewers to produce their own questions and answers when looking at the pictures, my own interpretations are really irrelevant in this context. "
Shoot Plan 1
Topic:I will take a self portrait of my self and use Photoshop to make it look like i'm in a video game.
Equipment:I will use a camera, I will be using one of the SLR,
Environment: will be taking the picture standing behind a plain background
Camera angles:I will be taking the picture in a mid shot, this will only show the upper body, so i will use the portrait mode on my camera. The focus point will be on the upper body because that's where the editing will be done.

This is where I have photographed all my process of this shoot.
The road to the finish
Firstly i dragged over the image of my hand to make it looks like there are two people playing card.
This is where i used the rubber tool to take out all the access image off.
Then I have added another one of my images of me playing cards so now there will be 3 people playing cards.
Now that I have rubbed out all of the access image know I will use the paint brush tool and selected the colour black to paint the background.
the Finish...
Here is my finished shoot I am very pleased with the finished result, I have used different images to look make it look these little soldiers are being puppeteer-ed to fight and to win a card game.
