The Dragan Experiment

Although I only really post my illustration work on Vox, I do like to work with images too.

A creative friend of mine showed me work by a photographer called Andrzej Dragan and how he was producing some images that utilised a similar style to Dragans work. So not wanting to be left out, I grabbed a few stock photos and had a play. In both experiements, the original(s) are on the left, altered on the right.

Cool, I'll guess you have to work alot with curves and threshold. Ops, and a lot of background masking :D Pictures turned out really cool

Thanks for the compliment, truth be told, the real trick is using the Shadow / Highlight adjustment on the image.

If you're interested, Msg me your email and I'll send you a source PSD, with the exception of the Shadow / Highlight, most of it's been added as adjustment layers, so you can see the method.

Its very reminiscent of solarizing of photography from back in the day... Only with more color, and I'm sure less mess ha. :) I know about this only from my younger days when my dad was a self-proclaimed photographer and was very obsessed with all of the different effects of the day.. sepia tones, filters.. you can now start singing some stupid 70s song or envisioning the partridge family or something as scary as that..... haha!

Nice work.

Yes the 70 graphic/photographic style was awesome :D Like every printshop was on LSD all day long :D
