Ironic Death #1, Seat Belt Distraction


Photographed by Nick Koudis at http://www.koudis.com/portfolio/index.htm

This composite has a landscape of a mountain and a closeup of car on a dangerous road, where it shows the car going off the cliff because the driver got distrated trying to put on the seat belt and she didnt notice the sign dangerous curve. This type of photograph will be hard to take in real life unless you have a great amount of money to create such scene just for one picture.
Sometimes the client wants something different and strange that will catch the attention of the customers and also a composite image is more flexible because it could be edited to communicate the message clearly by adding the neccesary elements. The manipulation can communicate fictional themes where your imagination could take you with no limits or boundaries such as surrealism, thats what straight photograph is not totally capable of communicating.
