Trident

A place I like to go to get my coffee fix while photoshopping or doing homework is Trident cafe on Pearl street.  My friend took this photo of me that includes my two favorite things: coffee and my Mac. I decided it would be the perfect photo to manipulate by introducing my artistic eye into the mix.  So I took a photo of an old dresser I painted, and composited some of that art onto the original photo. Photoshop has proved to be so inspiring--especially while trying to tie in some surrealism into this project.  With some adjustments in lighting, tone, hue, exposure and saturation I was able to create this fantastical photo. Enjoy!
