17 Photo Manipulations With People

If you have used Photoshop you probably have dabbled in photo manipulation, which really is what Photoshop is meant for. Over the past year there have been more and more photo manipulations coming out every day, especially like the ones below. The basic elements most of these designs have is a single figure in the center as the focal point and then design elements wrapped around the person as if they were one and the same. This is probably the most popular photo manipulation trend right now. What do you guys think of this photo manipulation style?

    There are some really good manipulations using this approach… but most of them seem pretty much alike with each other. They don’t bring anything new. I believe this trend won’t last for a very long time. At least not as much as the floral motifs or the grunge elements.

    This is good stuff. I really like the 9th one down in particular. Great lines.

  6. elyas - May 19th, 2009

  8. nini - May 20th, 2009

    pretty. but not very challenging to the head tho.

    very nice mood involved. I believe with the ability of these artists, it doesn’t really matter who the model is. At the end of the day, what they portray is basically the mood and feel of the whole poster composition. Mood plays a huge part along with its color. Admire all of them . :)

    Amazing, particularly like the pswc 09! Have have no idea how these guys have the time and patience to complete these. I’d probably get as far as the 1st clipping path and lose interest!

  11. Matt Powers - May 20th, 2009

    This is really the type of trend I like to see in design, because it’s pulling in tons of color, and it has a strong emphasis on 3d spacing. I really like this selection of manipulations.

  12. Phoenix Advertising - May 21st, 2009

    Great lighting effects. Very creative

  13. WangLi - May 21st, 2009

    Happy Learning1

  14. ProjectCenter - May 22nd, 2009

    Nice photos. Beautiful.

  15. andy eaton - May 23rd, 2009

    Wow these are really excellent. where would you start trying to learn how to do them.

  16. Print Man - May 23rd, 2009

    Fire man is awesome! I also really like the manipulation with the crazy mouth.

  17. Peter Nudo - May 27th, 2009

    I really dig lighting effects and variation of color right now…and meaning ‘right now’ i mean for the past year. Its a trend I dont see myself kicking for a while

  18. divinefusion - May 27th, 2009

    likey. mucho.

  19. Paul - May 28th, 2009

    I love this style, but am totally envious of them, haven’t learnt much about this style yet… I should really look for some decent tutorials to get me started.

    However I do agree with Jorge, in that they are quite similar a lot of the time, not especially unique now that everyone has begun this trend, it’s hard to make this kind of manipulation unique I think… in most cases anyway.

  20. Marlene - May 28th, 2009

    I really like them! I need to learn how to do things like that!

  21. Josh - May 29th, 2009

    These are pretty nice. I agree with Jorge though, once you’ve seen about 10 of these, you seen them all. It would be awesome to see the things that could be done if there was more push for variety in this approach.

  22. e11world - June 2nd, 2009

    Sweet manipulations!

  23. Khaled - June 4th, 2009

    I do like this kind of imagery and although they are similar in style they are each an expression of the artist who creates them. I don’t think the style will die any time soon it will just evolve much like Photoshop to give more freedom to the artist.

  24. Tony Minneapolis Web Guy - June 5th, 2009

    Incredible images… And I disagree with Jorge. This style will be around for a while. It seems common for designers, but it’s not overused in mainstream media… yet.

  25. Kristyn Kowalski - June 16th, 2009

    Are there tutorials or anything for any of these? I love them and would like to experiment with a tutorial for some of them.
