My first intentions are to create some photomontages in the style of Andreas Lie but with a more urban feel to them. Instead of using shots of animals and natural landscapes I will be using studio portraits and cityscapes/urban landscapes.

For the urban landscape images i will be using an “Urban Housing” shoot I have done of some flats in my local area, they are all dramatic black and white images with a lot of different shades and contrast.

For the studio portraiture I am going to use a shoot of my model Angus. I was considering using portraits that have coloured gels on the model and background however i don’t think this would give my desired effect. So instead I will be using simple portraits on an over-exposed white background.

For my final outcome i plan on having he silhouette of my model on a white background, but his silhouette being a black and white urban landscape.

Andreas Lie is an engineering student from Haugesund, Norway. At only 25 he has already found himself an international audience for his work. His most famous work being “Norwegian Woods” in which he merges Norwegian animals and the landscapes in which they live. He uses digital double exposure. His work reflects his appreciation for nature and wildlife in his country and how he lives in and around incredible mountains and forests, which is a clear inspiration for his work.
