Sketch to Reality | Creative Photo Manipulation by Joel Robison

Hi, you guys! We are back with yet another super useful blog of ours, and we are sure that you are going to have a great time reading and making the most of it. Know that we are very excited to formally begin the blog, but before we do that, we would like to take a moment to thank you all for the love and support that you send our way and for also making sure that your friends, family, and favorite colleagues are reading our blogs. And we would love to see more of that happening in the future as well.

We are sure that you know how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started to take over even the most mundane of the jobs that we used to do on our own. And while that sounds way too convenient, it is something that should be discouraged at all levels. Here is why: the use of AI in our personal and professional lives is not only making us super lazy and highly dependent on the tools that operate through AI, but it is also taking away the uniqueness that a random creator would bring to the table. However, there are still many artists around the world who are not dependent on AI and are creating art and content using their imagination and skills. We are not only proud of them, but we hope that they can make a difference with their unique approach in the future as well.

Speaking of the artists and creators who do not use AI tools to generate art, we want to mention that we came across an artist, Joel Robison. His work speaks for itself, and we are sure that you will be very happy to go through his creations as soon as you are done reading the blog. Allow us to share what Joel creates and how. Make sure that you read the blog till the end, as we know that it will inspire you to create amazing stuff for yourself and your clients.

Joel Robison is a Canadian photographer who does photo manipulation in such a way that it takes his audience to another world; a world that is full of whimsical characters, and a world where the magic happens. We are sure that you will also be able to experience all of that in a very short while. 🪄 So, how exactly does Joel work on his projects? The first step of the process for Joel is to create a sketch of the things that he would like to capture in his photos. The sketches are interestingly beautiful on their own because he uses watercolors to complete the sketch or drawing, and then he takes his equipment to the location where he can capture the photographs for his personal and commercial projects.

We would like to mention here that Joel has a lot of edge when it comes to creating art. For example, he does not incorporate AI into creating what he wants to create. He happens to be an admirer of trees and other natural elements that make this world a beautiful place, and in his creations, too, you will see how he has included trees almost everywhere, but of course, carefully so that it does not look forced. And you can see his dedication in all the images that he has created. All the images that have been created or manipulated by Joel are masterpieces, and we just had to share them with you guys so that you can get inspired and let your creative juices flow in the right direction.

The process of creating sketches to gathering props and then going to a physical location to create something will always be more fun and exciting for the world rather than giving an AI tool some instructions to create “art”. Also, if you guys are thinking that we are against the use of AI tools, then you’re not entirely wrong. However, there has to be a balance in everything so that it stays real and unique.

That’s all for today! We hope that you not only had a nice time reading this blog, but that you will also share your feedback with us in the comments section down below. And while you are at it, do not forget to let us know which photo manipulations you liked the most. We would also like you guys to share this blog with everyone that you work with, people that you are friends with, and anyone else that you think can benefit from it. We will see you guys next time with something more fun and exciting to read and work on. Until then, keep reading and sharing our blogs with your favorite people. 😀
