Nearsight: A Senior Surreal Photo by Katia Kiefaber (2013)

I created this photo by using HDR photo-merging techniques and masks. I first took photos of the glasses on the wood table, with each photo having a different exposure. I merged three of these photos together and used a surrealist setting on the photo to enrich the brown wood color. Then, I placed a photo of Courtney Cooper's eyes underneath and used the masking tools to have her eyes show through, as if in the glasses. I used the surrealist technique of unexpected juxtaposition by putting the eyes on the glasses. These two things go together, but most people wouldn't think of putting them together like I did in the photo, making it unexpected juxtaposition.
