The Four Seasons of Japan

Inspired by Alphonse Mucha's Four Seasons, with a Japanese twist. The figures are photographs that have been silhouetted, using Photoshop to highlight the pattern in the kimono or Yukata. The background of the image has then been created using anywhere from 10 to 20 different photographs collaged, and layers and montaged together, also using Photoshop. The effect is that of a stained glass window.

This is a process I have been using for years that I've developed to create the Digital Montages that I do. It's digital cutting, pasting, erasing away; sometimes duplicating and enlarging, or reducing and fading away. It's a timely process, and I adjust the image as I deem fit for my creative vision. None of it is done with AI, or automatic photo stitching.
