Photomontage and Manipulation

(These were created without using any AI)

A selection of my photomontage and manipulation artwork including competition winners and published artwork. Many of these images were specially created for competition entries where four random images were supplied. The task was to combine and manipulate the images to create one new image artwork. Several of my images were featured in, or won the monthly competition. AI has effectively ended the fun and challenge in manually honing skills in this way by practicing and attempting to creating these kinds of images. I leave these here as a reminder of a different digital age before AI arrived.
