Pho·tog Friday: Felix Hernandez Rodriguez

I recently came across an article on PetaPixel about a photographer from Cancun, Mexico named Felix Hernandez Rodriguez.  He photographs products, small models, human subjects, smoke, and fake snow to create a specific scene.  Often times, Rodriguez will shoot two or more photographs and merge them together in Photoshop.

Check out the video below to see how Rodriguez created created The Love Car, pictured above:
 
 

Below is one of my favorite images taken by Rodriguez: The Crow & The Dove. By looking at the images, you can see that he photographed the boy separate from the boat. Rodriguez uses a method called "focus stacking". This is when a photographer shoots multiple images of one subject with a macro lens and combines the images together in Photoshop. For the next "Make it Monday" post, we'll take a close look at this approach to creating images.
