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?

Wow! these are brilliant! Cheers
Nice collection! I really love all the lighting effects!
Hi there!! I’m really honoured you feeatured “flair” and #aftertaste” on your blog!! but I would have liked you to tell me!1 lol!! ’cause it went on abduzeedo.!1anyways thanx
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.
nice post. I love the photo manipulation 7 and photo manipulation 12….. great
It’s too good !!
keep it up.
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!
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.
Great lighting effects. Very creative
Happy Learning1
Nice photos. Beautiful.
Wow these are really excellent. where would you start trying to learn how to do them.
Fire man is awesome! I also really like the manipulation with the crazy mouth.
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
likey. mucho.
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.
I really like them! I need to learn how to do things like that!
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.
Sweet manipulations!
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.
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.
Are there tutorials or anything for any of these? I love them and would like to experiment with a tutorial for some of them.
