"Brea Souders invokes the romanticism and tradition of landscape photography to question its status in the present."
These pictures are a combination of the two edited versions of the collage (in the gallery of 4 above). I put the full collage picture behind the other picture and used the exclusion blending option in the first one to create an awesome mix of negative space and extra color to the photo and then pin light in the second one which I think created a mysterious look to the composition. Ghosty. Almost.

These are the same pictures used in the experiment above however I put the full collage photo in front of the other this time and used blending modes linear burn and hard light to express the colors. This ended up in one image looking like it was a bit too underexposed, which I think adds to the confusion of the photo, but I personally like the outcomes; the blending could also allow you to create a picture of whatever could be in the bottom left corner.

Finally, these two images are the two colored collages of both pictures from the gallery of 4 blended together. The first picture uses the subtract blending mode which I find fascinating for how much negative space it leaves in contrast to make the purple look almost natural. The contrast between these is that the second one uses the screen blend mode, which almost makes it look like it was drawn? These photos make me think of our current topic of Constructed Landscapes since the photos remind me of an old wooden building that might have collapsed.
