Composite Critique

"Transfer"
These three images were created by Kevin Corrado, a 22 year old Photographer and Graphic Designer from Connecticut. He attended Shintaro Akatsu School of Design and Bridgeport Connecticut, earning a BFA in Graphic Design. Corrado had a very successful year in 2012, being apart of many exhibitions, accepting awards, and being published in multiple books & magazines. 
Each background image appears to be either painted or photographed, with a hand that becomes painted with the main colour of the landscape as it's reaching down. I imagine Corrado dipping his hand or someone else's in a bucket of paint that is close to the colour of what he chooses the background to be. While using technology, he most likely took the arm out of it's original photo, placed it on top of the landscape photo and aligned the line separating the paint and skin with the line separating the sky and the water, earth, and clouds.  
I think the result all of three images are very pleasing and intriguing. Corrado used a simple concept and made it into a beautiful representation of how we see colours in different landscapes. The title "Transfer" also is very fitting since the images show the transfer of colour from nature to our finger tips.
