Img.1 Using Dali Atomicus photograph as reference

Exercise

This week we are supposed to create a surrealistic photo montage by combining organic and inorganic objects. To create it, we need to find a certain background that we will go crazy with the editing until we create an insane surrealistic photo. Before we started to make our own surrealistic photos, we are intended to produce a surrealistic photo that's similar with Dali Atomicus photograph.

1st 

Img.2 I'm using this photo as my base which is a moon's surface

Img.2.2 After I place the base background, I selected the sky that I wanted (but I ended up not using this one). Thus I decreased the opacity so I can mask and remove unwanted part (I used black brush to delete it) and at the same time looking at the base so it'd be neat and looks like as if it's from the actual background.

Img 2.3 Same thing goes to these objects, I used magic wand, brush tool and lasso to create this in layer mask. It's crucial to remember that we need to invert after we selected it so it can be showed or else it'd be vice versa 

Img.2.4 When it comes to adjusting the edges, I refined it so it'd look more "blended" rather than looking like too fake

Img.2.5 I did all the objects the same by masking, this part i wanted to make a pool with clouds in it so I did the same thing as before I did on the background and the sky. 

Img.2.6 I wanted to remake the background and the concept so the same thing I did just like how I mentioned before but I used different sky

Img.2.7 I added more objects , recolor the moon surface with brush and moved some layers accordingly so it won't look odd (I wanted some layers to go behind from the previouse one)

Img.2.8 After I added more objects, I adjust the brightness/contrast, and levels

Img.3 Final Result

Animation 

Img.4  On this part we are supposed to make the animated GIF of how we did the surrealistic photograph 

I'm using the time line and adjust the things that I wanted to show and hide and also how long the duration I wanted

  

Img.4.2 Export and Save for Web 

Img.4.3 Save it as a GIF

Final Result

Img.5 Recreating George Redhawk's surrealism

Img.5.2 Using black and white image of a body to recreate the surrealism photo

Img 5.3 The pattern that I'll be using

Img 5.4 Placing the pattern photo and change the blending mode as if it's the part of the skin

Img 5.5 I delete unwanted parts by masking and to make it looks 'moving', i moved the pattern down a bit for each layer

Img 5.6 Final Layer

Img. 5.7 Final result

Reflection 

I was really confuse when it goes to masking and such things because I always find the result is not good enough because of the harsh edges. However after I tried some tricks, I found this quite easy. Thus I had a lot of fun and playing with my imagination.
