UNLEASH THE DRAGON IN YOU: Bruce Lee Machine 2011 and 2012 versions

Model Photoraphy, Photomanipulation and concept by George Pontino Jr.
Model: Christian Aldana as Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee turned 71 on Oct. 27 2011 and as a fitting tribute, I planned for something unusual that will commemorate this great cultural and pop icon. I decided to do a Steam Punk-inspired re-evolution machine that generates a young Bruce Lee. Using my friend as a model, I put him inside using a crude-looking machine with a glass capsule. This image is also inspired by the story of Dr. Frankenstein who brought a monster into life. But this one though is different. It's like a cloning machine that  brings back people using the cloning technology.
I hope, through my photomanipulation, Bruce Lee's spirit is here to stay and his legacy will live on through the years and influence more people.

2012 Version of my Bruce Lee Machine (See 2011 version below)


Additonal Notes: To complete the images, I added "cameo roles".  First, another good friend Jimm Malvar acts as the journalist/photographer here.  There's ShuffleBot (a fun robo costume created by Skippy Gustilo who's US based YouTuber whom  I met  in Bacolod during MassKara Festival). The bot appears as the cloning machine operator. For the effects, I manually used lightning and smoke to give life to the industrial and crude look. And for the glass case, I used a drinking glass photo in which I added some bubbles to create an illusion of a capsule with water and bubbles inside of it.

Crouching Laundry and the Hidden Panty Photomanipulation

Photomanipulation and concept by George Pontino Jr

Models: Boy, Mark and Chad

Now, it's time for some humor with a martial art twist located somewhere in rural China.
I had so much fun doing Crouching Laundry and the Hidden Panty (sorry if the title offends you). For one, it tested my creativity to the hilt especially in creating a funny yet photo-realistic image with that cartoon vibe. Adding challenge to the entire image is how I should portray an effect of wind blowing on the clothes hanging on laundry. Thanks to Photoshop tools, I get to manipulate the clothes as if the breeze in the countryside is blowing.
