Enter into another of Bert Monroy's Dreamscapes. This series shows how to create original artwork by compositing images in Photoshop. Using ordinary photographs, Bert is able to create extraordinary compositions. Here he repurposes some photos he's collected from his travels for each of the elements of his mushroom house, a cozy cottage straight from a fairy tale. It all starts with a mushroom (shot with Bert's iPhone), a chimney and backdrop from Tuscany, and some other image details from his own backyard. Use the exercise files or your own assets to create your own dream house with Photoshop.
