Lucas Simoes

"Lucas Simões is an independent artist based in São Paulo, with a background in architecture and design. His experiences of training as an architect redefined his perceptions of art and opened new paths of discovery. In architecture, he says, ’a drawing is more than a drawing: it is the intent that something concrete will materialize through the construction process’. This outlook has influenced his drawing process and his constructive approach to his work with collage and sculpture."

Lucas Simoes uses multiple photos, or the same photo layered, to create a surreal image, distorting the face. This use of shapes and layering is something I will use in my editing for my final piece.

Once all my photos had been taken and I was happy with them, I began to edit them using the layering tools on Photoshop. I copied the photo, and then pasted it as a layer on top of the same photo. At this point, I'd either click multiply or colour burn, to make the top layer translucent. I'd then alter the hue, increase the top layer or move it slightly to achieve the desired effect. 

The photo above has two layers,
