Digital Art Portraits MUSIC Collection

– THE TWILIGHT SAD –

Today I am sharing with you my project and artwork a new Digital Portrait!

This time I am starting a new Collection of Portraits dedicated to the world of “MUSIC” and Artists. I loved to create this portrait very much, because is inspired and dedicated to my favorite nowadays band from Scotland “The Twilight Sad” and to their great and unique music. This year The Twilight Sad had an amazing and successful North American Tour as the opening band chosen by the iconic “The Cure” for this full-fledged 2016 World Tour together. In October they will be back on stage with The Cure Touring around Europe for the final dates of the Tour. I attended one of the fantastic concerts last May. I have seen them in Los Angeles at The Hollywood Bowl in one of the three sold out shows, it was an amazing and wonderful concert that I never wanted to miss. If you haven’t you can read my detailed Blog Post here.

Details about my Digital Portrait

For this portrait I loved to use the beautiful photos of International Live Music Photographer, “Mauro Melis”, his work is stunning! He had the opportunity to photograph many amazing bands during the years, creating beautiful memories throughout his photography. And I am honored that he let me use his photos for create my artwork this digital portrait. I used three images of The Twilight Sad performing during two dates of the North American Tour. These below are the original photos I used before my digital intervention and creation.

Singer James Graham - Medison Square Garden New York — Singer James Graham – Concert June 18, 2016 – Madison Square Garden, New York

Guitar - Andy MacFarlane — Guitar – Andy MacFarlane – Concert May 17, 2016 – El Paso, Texas

Drummer - Mark Devine - Concert May 17, 2016 - El Paso Texas — Drummer – Mark Devine – Concert May 17, 2016 – El Paso, Texas

I love to create these ethereal digital Portraits. They are my evolving idea and concept to combining images and telling a story in the form of Visual-Art. Each photo has a meaning behind it and tell the Portrait story. During my creative process I am very selective of which photo I use and I spend lots of time researching for the right ones, with the right tones of colors, right lighting and more details to look at it. This portrait is create with three photos but in my experience during my artistic journey I have made images with 10 and more photos. The process of creating is complex and introspective there is a lots of work and lots of myself in each final image. I am happy the way this portrait turned out and I plan to create more of them for the Music Collection. For now The Twilight Sad are my shining stars on this special portrait!

You can see and read more of my Digital Portraits visiting my other artistic Collection “When Nature Meets Humans”

I hope that you like my Digital Art and that you will share your impressions on this portrait!
A special thanks goes to The Twilight Sad with my best wishes for their European Tour dates and a great thank you to Mauro Melis for his stunning photography and his kindness to me.

When Nature Meet Humans - Portrait #3 Silver Wave — When Nature Meet Humans – Portrait #3 Silver Wave

“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS” Digital Portraits Collection
– Portrait #3 – Silver Wave –

This post also is my participation of the Weekly Daily Post Photo Challenge – FACE –

Today is time for another digital creation that I want to share with you, it’s a Portrait added to this Concept-Collection. This is Portrait #3 Silver Wave.
This is a black and white portrait created with black and white photos only for a monochrome effect, focusing on lighting and transparency. While editing and creating this portrait I was able to archive a magical golden lighting effect giving beautiful shades, it is lovely how it turned out I am very pleased and happy with it. This was a great experiment to work on.

I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity which I love to express with different mediums. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind. I often post my Digital Art . I made a new gallery for the “When Nature Meets Humans Portraits Collection” you can see and read all about this great concept here. When I am not working on my Jewelry Designs, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush watercolor painting or sketching, I love to go Digital is an extension of my art which I love to work with very much and in this case Photoshop is my creative ally. I am using Photoshop from about 15 years, for me there are not other software to really compare with, I am so amazed all the time of what I am able to create with it that motivate and inspire me to create and experiment more and more.

I am very excited and inspired to keep working on this concept created as an experimental and evolving Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits this is also part of my personal creative and artistic growth and evolution. Thanks to all of you for leaving me your feedbacks and comments let me know what you think. I really appreciate all the encouragements and insights. This portrait it is the #3 of this Digital Art Collection, so far by now I created six portraits.

The story for this one starts with the title I gave “Silver Wave” because the reflection of the water combined with the light and the grays and white tones. I also feel that the portrait emits messages of peace and calm feelings and strength at the same time, it represent the image of a strong woman who is illuminated by rays of kindness and love with a sense of inner peace, purity and happiness.

To create this portrait I used only two beautiful and amazing photos found over internet source Pinterest note that the images used are not my own Photography (I apologize but haven’t found any names of the photographers to give Credits for their ©Copyrights).

I came up with this idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits that tell a story, each one I created has their own story and meanings, they are filled with all my experience, art and soul into it.

If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique story with a custom Digital Art Portrait, for more info and details please contact me.

As always thank you I love to know your opinion and I appreciate your feedback!

Digital Portrait #2 – When Nature Meets Humans

August 5, 2015February 3, 2016 Carolina Russo

– Launching “WHEN NATURE MEET HUMANS” Digital Portraits #2 –

Today I am showcasing my second Portrait, this creation is part of my new Digital Portraits Collection “When Nature Meets Humans” and this is Portrait #2 – Souls

I also made a new gallery check the drop down menu Digital Portraits where I will post all the Portraits for this unique Collection.

Thank you to all of you that commented to my last post. I really love to know your opinion which I value immensely, it means a lot to me. I am very happy that you like my Concept for this new idea I am launching.
At this moment I am really inspired creating this Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits, this portrait it is the #2. In my last post I explained that while creating Portrait #1 I used photos found on internet on Pinterest some of them were photos from professional photographers like the model I used for the Portrait “Proud”. This time I used one of “YOU” here from the WP community. I am quite sure that many of you will probably recognize her soon, especially if you are a follower of her beautiful Blog. She is SOULDIERGIRL I love her and her photography she is one of my dear friends here on the blogosphere. I used 3 of her own photos from her Blog and one of mine (the water stream). I loved very much to create this portrait and I really like how it turned out.
This time I didn’t wanted to use a Model or Professional Photos, but Souldiergirl has great photos and you can see what I have been able to create to make this portrait.

I came with this Concept to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of photo portraits…let’s say that I like the idea to create very unusual portraits filled with all my inspiration, experience, art and soul like in all my unique creations.

If you’re interested eventually in purchasing a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos or not, I can create your personal and unique portrait. For info and details please contact me.

As always I love your comments!
