I was in need of insipiration a couple of days ago and so I went to the bookstore and read magazines for over an hour. In digital photo pro, I wandered across this photographer named John Paul Caponigro. His pictures are epic and the magazine described him as the Master of Fine Art Photography.

His pics are super surrealistic and in one of his series he essentially overlays smoke photography onto a soothing ocean scape. (Refer to sufussion download in his gallery if interested) Well after reading the article and looking at his pictures, it got me into the fine art spirit. I didn't want to jock his style completely, but I did want to try out smoke photography.
Essentially what I did is looked at the smoke as if I was looking at a Rorschach ink blot test and then colored the smoke to mimic whatever object i saw. Some images are transformed and mirrored and some are composited with other smoke formations. It was definitely a fun experience, but I reek of incense and am over the smoke photography craving for awhile. Tell me what you think.
This one isnt supposed to look like anything, I just liked the way the composition and color turned out in the end. I do kind of see a turbocharger down at the bottom though.
