Manhole Covers of Japan: Fuji Bird Wisteria River Kingfisher

This series stems from the unique, decorative manhole cover designs each district within Japan boasts. After photographing the cover, I turn it into a black silhouette using Photoshop. I place colorful images behind the silhouette. They speak of a hidden world of beauty: when so much care and design is taken for something we walk over, perpetually gets dirty, it must be elevated, like a stained-glass window. The purple Wisteria and the kingfisher feature on this manhole cover design. 

Digital Montage Photography is a process where I layer and edit photographs together using Photoshop to create a wonderfully new collaged image celebrating different places. These are all photos I have taken, not stock photography. 

The luster photo paper is a premium photographic stock with a satin finish, favored by professional photographers. Its subtle, pearl-like texture adds depth, while supporting deep color saturation.
