Zombie Attack on Apocalyptic Day

Selfie Photomanipulation and concept by George Pontino Jr
Model: Me and and My Hands...haha :D

The late Director and the Father of Zombie film George Romero's apocalyptic vision changed the landscape of horror movies. Everything started with his 1968 flick Night of the Living Dead and came a lot of zombie films, tv series like AMC's The Walking Dead and even a computer game Plants and Zombies. They an are obviously homage to his creations that could possibly happen in real life (just google the zombie ants: Camponotini ant tribe infected by fungus O. unilateralis. They are the closest zombies the real life could offer). There's even a comedy movie called the Shaun of Dead. So, to pay homage to my namesake, here's my personal version and original music"

AFTER. THE FINAL IMAGE done by the Author for his Profile Pic

With the advent of Iphone apps like Instagram, the film look was revived to a new generation of photo enthusiasts when IG introduced aged filters. With Photoshop, you can do filters using a lot of tools. In my part,  I changed and used that mood entirely here using textures and corroded film. I also added scratches. I'm happy with the final image but I'm still planning to keep the "realistic" one.. See below.  :)

BEFORE. Come to me my dear zombie!

So this is the colorful "Before" Image. As a zombie movie fanatic, making a zombie photomanipulation is one image editing work I always planned to do. There's this apocalyptic image in my head that somehow echoes everytime I look at my "Doc" photo which was shot by a friend. For the attacking zombie hands, I took my phone and shot each hand until I have both pictures ready to cut and paste. I placed in on a strategic place on my main image as if acting an attacking zombie is close at hand. Inspired by The Walking Dead's intro anthem color, I was able transform colored images into a dark and somber apocalyptic era where Zombie reigns. (see AFTER image above)

The Macro Shooter (Photographers in Peril part 2)

Photomanipulation and concept by George Pontino Jr.



The Macro Shooter is the 2nd part of my "Photographers in Peril" series.
The first one was End of Decadence (Going Greek Volcanic) which can be found below this blog and in my Facebook page.
I really had fun doing this image. For one, I used a real person which I asked to model for me for my concept (See sketch nelow). So I was in for a Photoshop challenge to turn my cartoonish idea into something realistic bu yet still has that comedic touch...to put this way, slapstick mood.
