“I consider myself a Hyper-realist artist. I love to paint. I use the word paint for lack of a better word. My medium is actually light. I have a passion for making things happen on the screen. Finding a new way of doing something and finding a new room in my imagination is what I love about the work.” – Bert Monroy
While not a photographer, Bert is an artist and expert with Photoshop. Bert shares many of his experiences, skills and memories of Leo in this episode. He certainly kept the chat room entranced the whole hour, not to mention Leo and myself.
Tip #1 – Think Big! This file is 6.52 Gigabytes, is 60 inches by 300 inches, consists of over 500,000 layers, and took 4 years to create. This is just one section of the entire image!
Tip#2 – Pay attention to details! Each of the photos below is a tiny section of Bert’s full size Times Square image.
Tip#3 – Sit back and Play! If you’re not sure what a tool does, play around with it and think outside the box.
