20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Dreamy Swan Lake

This work is an experiment in the possibilities of photography. The work was created using an Epson scanner and a Canon 5D4 camera. By using the scanner and camera to capture the image and then going through a series of layer merging and Photoshop software processing, the inanimate swan necklace is seen as a living swan and is integrated into the blue dreamy swan lake created by the author, presenting a creative commercial photography work full of dreamy Swarovski swan necklace. It is hoped that through the exploration of this work, an alternative approach to commercial photography can be found.
