The fact is i’ve got finally time to spend in my favourite subject -fantasy- and sometimes things like this one pop up from the imagination. I’ve done loads of works like these in the past, but i’ve never wanted to public em on the site, i still stick to my philosophy, being a photographer not a comic novelist, but today i made an exception. The process is pretty slow, i mixed together a grand canyon sky picture with a manhattan skyline, both took last year and then i started to patch with at least 20 different demolition shots. Curves, tone processing and some little objects around. Enjoy the mess!
My photography has evolved over the years. I've gone from wild post-processing experimentation with Photoshop toward a more classic approach.
As my best teacher, Joe McNally, says, it's all about the Moment it Clicks. I still use post processing but just white balance and curves adjustments, trying to do my best to get a clean shot and forget about digital monitor work. I always remember one thing. Light is the most powerful tool i have.
