Global WARMing Spa: The Coolest Elven Winterland
Photoshop Manipulation and Concept by George Pontino Jr.
The winter season has two opposite faces. For many, the sight of snow and the winter chills is a start of good holiday cheers. (Yehey, It's Christmas time!) But for others, it's another fight against Mother Nature's frozen attitude and drastic, uhm, cold shoulders. Blizzards attacks many towns and stops daily life. Snow pounds and cover villages. Homes become havens or prisons because of this cold winter spell.
It was indeed a challenge for me to create a weird Winterland with a grim look inspired by Global Warming but with a touch of dark comedy humor.
To realize this photomanipuation, I opted for a surreal dwarf village where in houses are made of frozen fish. To feed your fancy thoughts more, I created a hot spring spa on a salmon's mouth. I'm hoping the idea would please my blog followers' and visitors' expectations.
So, this holiday I say, Winter Chills, I mean, Cheers to you!

Adventure in the Corporate Jungle (Apocalypse Photomanipulation Series)
Photo and Photomanipulation by George Pontino Jr.
Model: Minelle
This image was accidental for this concept. When I took the picture of the model. I was thinking of a travel theme. But upon looking this a shot, another apocalyptic idea came to my mind and I was challenged to do a different approach: a scenario where the corporate jungle is a just thing of the past.
Let's say man met his last days due to financial doom. The depiction of economic failure is evident here, a bleak scenario which pushed the corporate world to meet its oblivion: no more meetings, no paperworks, no deadlines, no attendance to keep and ultimately no more office politics. With mismanagement, corruption and maybe, with works of hackers, this scene could happen.
However, despite this destruction, there's this popular Darwinian theory called of survival of the fittest. Some people are still out there scouring for thing just to survive. Indeed, survival is the key in an adventure in the corporate jungle.

The Group Hug of Group Hugs: MESS in Atlantis (Photographers in Peril part 8)
Photoshop manipulation and Concept by George Pontino Jr.
Last September 2010
When I went to Bahrain in 2010, I met fellow M.E.S.S.(Middle East Shutter Squad) members who are based in Bahrain in flesh. I only have known some of them through the web via Flickr and Facebook.
While there, I was able to hold a brief workshop about photo editing. We had also a photoshoot in the park where I got to take a group shot and finally converting it into something amazing in visual output. The result is this:
With great hospitality extended to me through out my stay in Bahrain, I turned our group shop as a photomanipulation tribute as a way to thank my hosts and new friends I met there.
I primarily envisioned a powerful force closing in on us as we are inside a lost civilization that reminds me of the lost city of Atlantis.
In the end, my image has that Indian Jones slash Lara Croft adventures theme. I combined Greek, Egyptian and Aztec stuff to create my lost ancient city with an EPIC wave engulfing the place where we have a very brief time to escape. We are Photographers in peril, indeed! :)
