Surrealism in Photography

One of the more famous surrealist photographers, David Hockey, gained recognition because of his photo montages, such as the one below, entitled Telephone Pole. The image fits in with surrealism because it is made up of several different images knitted together, creating a fantastical and creative image.

Another surrealist photographer is Erik Johansson, whose work (such as Fishy Island, below) is made up of multiple photographs in order to create his images, thus fitting in with our surrealism project.

Surrealist photographer Stephen Criscolo creates surrealist images by imagining up is own worlds, like the example below with the jellyfish. The dreamlike image fits in with the surrealism movement.
