22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Blue tulips 1

This collection explores image creation beyond the camera, using a scanner as the medium. Two digital artworks were created by scanning tulips and oil painting portraits (without copyright issues) and then merging them through post-processing in Photoshop. This approach represents an exploration and attempt at cross-disciplinary fusion of multiple art forms. The images carry a classical, dreamy aesthetic, with the girl in the picture resembling a flower fairy, imbuing the works with vitality and charm.
