Composite defenition

Composite definition-Definition of composite photograph : a photograph made by combining several distinct photographs either made one over another on the same plate or made on one print from a number of negatives. In editing, a composite is a video image that incorporates two or more separate visual media elements together on the screen.

Composite photo-The final outcome is intended to tell some story, or provide an atmosphere; all images within the collage having something in common that connects them. Composite pictures are usually presented as one final picture, with added elements from some other images, thus changing the meaning of the original.

Image editing software such as Photoshop is used to manipulate images to an extent determined by the artist/ retouched. There are three basic types of editing-

Colour balance, cropping and contrast

Retouching, airbrushing

Compositing

So Photoshop can be used in a similar way to what dark rooms can be in the processing of prints, as you can adjust how dark you want certain areas to be and how exposed to light the photo was.

Digital compositing is the process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image.

 

This is an example of a composite edit, this photo is obviously composed of many different photographs like the book stack, a boy, a giraffe and a background because its not possible that this photograph could have naturally of been taken like this so the photographer would of had to digitally manipulate the photo by using Photoshop This photo is interesting because all of the objects in this phot are not in their natural environment so its like anything can be anywhere it wants. This photo is quite inspiring to me because I like the landscape of the photo, so with my composite photos I want to have a good landscape background and completely random objects that would not normally be in that environment.
