Sensual Luscious Tulip

[vitalygeyman]

This is a composite of three layers. The tulip is superimposed in PS3 onto silk and then the writing over the top. Masking was used to blend the tulip into the silk.

You can see more such examples in my Flower Photography Gallery.

very nice. where are your textures from?

[vitalygeyman]

I often photograph material, ceramic, concrete, old postcards, art paper etc..there are also some free textures on the net but they are usually low res.

Best place for free textures IMO is this guy... he's got some stunning stuff on there.

Well thank you that was a great resource for textures....I am also looking for some abstract paintings I can use as textures, anybody knows where I can get some online?

Great textures at the site posted above, thanks for posting them, now if I just had some talent to actually get some use out of them.

Ed its not hard, just start with cutting and pasting some flowers onto these textures as a basic. Else just place them over your photo and decrease the opacity of that layer in Photoshop so only some of the textures shows.

I will be giving more examples soon. In the mean time check out my website for inspiration how to use textures as backgrounds for flowers etc...

Very cool. What would you do with a finished photo like that? Print it on canvas and hang it? Put in a magazine?

Simply beautiful! I've bookmarked your website, it's amazing! Thank you!

Well hopefully all of the above, but in reality it takes a while even for some of my best work to get out into the public. I have a poster publishing company that represents me and a calendar company, but it takes a while to become established. Still I feel grateful as it encourages me to produce more work.
