Create > Photo Cutout Character Scenes
Goal: Create a series of images by inserting photo cutout characters into real scenes.
Studio Activity:
Be inspired by the works of Yorch Miranda who adds photography cuttings to real life situations, like the surrealist scenes below. Miranda’s incredibly creative mix of old imagery, modern staging, and skilled photography make for some truly unique works that combine collage and photography to create a style all his own. Miranda blends cut-out vintage shots with real-world objects. He then photographs the images in what results as an often times humorous composition. For more by this impressive creator, be sure to follow Yorch Miranda on Instagram.
This image has been created by hanging a cut out photographic figure above a laundry basket. The change in scale results in an inventive, surrealist scene, with the shadow cast by the figure becoming an integral part of the work.
