As Vast as the Mountain, As High as the Ocean
Photographs of mountains are computationally altered to flatten the mountain’s elevations, while an ocean horizon is altered to mimic the mountain’s original topography.

I don’t think I get it. But it looks cool.
i like the way it can look like sea water/foam
depending the way you look at it
it would be nice to see more of the reasoning behind the images/concept. I find the altered ocean horizon resembles a rock cross section more so then a Mountain scape. I think your onto something
Very nice. I can imagine how the Earth would look like if it’s all altered.
i, i´m alejo from Argentina…
Awesomehow, can i know how do you get this idea? i know it´s too much to ask, but, never in a million years i could shape the mountains in my mind to twisted into the ocean… well… maybe it´s cuz i´m not an artist, but would like to know
(sorry my english)
Explaining how I came up with any of my ideas is difficult at best, as they seem to pop into my head seemingly from nowhere, but I do remember that the impetus for this specific project was looking at a thumbnail image. I thought it showed a flattened mountain, but when I looked at the full-size it was just a typical flat landscape photo. And so I set to making what I believed I had seen in the thumbnail.
i like the way the ‘Paramount’ logo looks like heart in the bottom picture.
Wow! What do you use to edit your photos?
I use a javascript file I wrote to do most of the legwork in Photoshop. Then I go back and hand-tweak some things that the script gets wrong.
bravo
my comment is a bit too short
what a pity
bravo
this is so cool..you really are a special kind off artist..really cool ideas:)
This is wonderful.
I’m trying to get into scripting myself. I’m a graphic design student but so far I’ve been self taught in scripting.
I’m amazed by the work you’ve done.
Do you accept internships at all at your studio?
As both a mountaineer and photographer I find these images somewhat compelling. Wonder what it would be like to climb the flattened ones. CG
I’m curious what you did exactly to flatten pictures like that (i’m okay at drawing art, but picture anatomy is beyond my capability, or mind set at the very least)
Larissa (whom I believe is your niece, we’re buds) told me you did lots of concept art, and that i would particularly like the drawings and photo arts. I do agree.
