From Regular Landscape to Psychedelic Art - Original Step-by-Step Photo Manipulation

in #photography • 8 years ago (edited)

Today I will show how a simple shot of a regular landscape can be turned into a psychedelic / abstract artwork.
There are many steps and the final result is totally different from the starting photo.

Here's a gif of the whole process

Starting Shot

I took this photo near the place where I live, in the hills near Pisa - Italy.
The place is called "Calci" and is a small town with a river.

The Google Deep Dream Algorithm

I started using the DD Filter App for iOS. This app is also available for Android and Windows Phone.

Tangled-Fx Edit

Tangled Fx is another great app for iOS, which adds brush effects and enhances colors (depending on your settings you get very different results).

Not crazy enough? Add more oddity!

Then I used the RollWorld app, it just takes the picture and deforms it spherically.
It's free if you don't choose to generate videos or gifs, but just still pictures.

Last edit

I used Trimaginator app to create a geometric grid that follows the picture.

Certification

      The animals are generated by a Google AI Algorithm called "deep dream", I just used it to mess up things a little :)
