22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Dreamy Swan Lakeimg

This photo is an attempt to experiment with different possibilities of photography. It was created using an Epson scanner and a Canon 5D4 camera. After the images generated with the scanner and the camera, they were layered in Photoshop. The inanimate swan pendant is like a living swan integrated into the dreamy blue lake, which is a creative presentation of the commercial photography for the Swarovski necklace. I hope to find another creative feasibility of commercial photography through the exploration of the creation in this piece of work. Materials used: a bunch of blue babysbreath to create a shimmering blue flower haunting dreamy lake background in the scanner; the Swarovski swan necklace; crystal clear ice with the blue background.
