P-picture artists and photographers can be great gods. Who do you want to be?

Max Asabin, a great PS god from Russia, studied Photoshop 10 years, and his PS skills are evident. The works of Max Asabin shown in this paper are all portraits obtained by previous photography. After simply intercepting the main body of the character with Photoshop, edge processing is carried out, such as the natural transition between shadows and highlights.

If you look at the finished product carefully, you will find that the characters and the fake background blend seamlessly and the color adjustment is impeccable. A person can understand light and shadow so thoroughly, there must be a story. Even with such skills, the time it takes Max Asabin to complete a work is amazing. How amazing is it? It is estimated that it takes about the same time as commercial peeling! Average 4-8 hours, perseverance is admirable.

To tell the truth, after reading these works, the author feels extremely inferior. You also show your works in front of friends and relatives. Do you think it is a pleasure for them to see an ordinary photo you took, or a flawless PS photo synthesized at the movie level?

The author thinks that ordinary photographic photos are better than those of PS God, unless they are strong stories and snapshots, they can't win. Because now who doesn't take pictures every second and retouch pictures for an hour? Not many people like real and natural photos anymore. Thinking about it is a bit like smashing a camera and switching to painting.

Even if everyone sees the blockbuster of PS, they will be shocked by the property of "beautiful explosion", but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is nothing more than an eye addiction and belongs to "fast food" art works. If you really appreciate it from an artistic point of view, it may not be worth mentioning.

Modern people's vision and aesthetics may be different from the past, because in everyone's eyes, these PS works are likely to be far better than court-level works such as Romon Lisa's Smile and The Last Supper. We often see photo contests being held all over the world, but we have never heard of the PS contest. What is the reason?

In fact, the boundary between photographic works and PS works should not be so clear. You can be a photographer with your own independent personality and style, or you can be a leader in the field of P-pictures.
