'agemaps' by bobby neel adams



bobby neal adams is an american photographer whose works looks at the transformation of the human body
as it ages. he began experimenting with a technique he calls ‘photo surgery’ in the 1980s. this technique involves
stitching together two different images to make them appear as one. ‘agemaps’ takes photographs of different
people as children and adults and mixes them together to create a new image. other collections made using
adams’ ‘photo surgery’ technique includes ‘family tree’ which mixes up close relatives and ‘couples’ which does
the same with couples.

Obviously?

It's Bobby NEEL Adams (DesignBoom editor, please correct), and as per his website there's no PhotoShop involved : it's old-fashion torn and glued - all the better! Nice, intriguing, interesting.

Of course they're Photoshopped, Luiz. What are you, a moron?
wiseup   12.23.08
.... Are people really saying that these are fake and photoshopped?
tess   12.24.08
Don't make assumptions. I've been in the fine art biz for years and Bobby Neel Adams has been making this type of art far longer than Photoshop has been around. Check him out.

mikey/coachbear   01.05.09
This looks authentic to me - zoom in and look at the pixels and shadows!
notshopped   01.09.09
These photographs are torn together and glued onto a board. I wouldn't know how to do this in photoshop as I am a dinosaur and have used this technique since the 1980's.
