This post is one part anecdote -me desperately searching for sheep, cattle or horses- and one part me looking for usable frames, ending up doing a composite and a substantial crop in order to create the final image. You’ve all probably heard about ‘sky replacement’, this is about ‘sheep replacement’.

ICM And Texture Layers – The Importance Of Pre-Visualization
One of the reasons that I’m so passionate about intentional camera movement is the fact that the most mundane, non-iconic location you can imagine can be transformed into a compelling piece of art. With addition of texture layers, the light doesn’t even have to be perfect. In fact, it can even be quite bad, lens flare and /or blown out skies, not a problem. Continue reading
Working With Textures – A Shortcut
As you may have noticed I have a newfound passion for using texture layers, I have already shared my process a couple of times. Not long ago I realized that in some specific cases, there’s no need for the typical time consuming process that I have previously described . This post is about those occasions, perhaps too obvious to mention as it’s far from a groundbreaking discovery on my part. Continue reading
Working With Textures And Intentional Camera Movement – Another Approach
Since I wrote my original post on texture layers and ICM I have tried an alternate approach that I thought I’d share.
It’s not exactly a revolutionary discovery, it’s more of a shortcut when processing and use of several texture layers with different blend modes. Normally when I process in Photoshop I do a lot of fine tuning, global and local adjustments before I start experimenting with textures.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY “VISIONS” PORTFOLIO
Do You Ever Get The Feeling That You Got Something For Free?
Even though I had spent hours on each photo and put a lot of thought into every processing decision, this was the feeling I got when I started experimenting with textures on my ‘old’ ICM images, what was to become my “Visions” project. This was of course an illusion, after all I – as always – had but a lot of thought and effort into the original processing. Nevertheless, it was a good feeling that gave me energy when I chose the perfect texture and blend mode for my favourite images that I thought had potential for new life with the help of further processing by adding one or several texture layers.
