John Goto

John goto was a fantasy landscape artist most famous for his work called high summer his work combines painting drawing and photography to create a surreal landscape that looks almost natural











My Final Piece and John Goto's Work are both in color i chose to do my image in color because i didn't think that black and white would suit the tones that my image had. also i think that black and white images that have been edited through photoshop do not look as realistic and you might be able to see things that have not been edited propperly.

My image is just a standalone image that is not part of a series while john goto's is part of a series called high summer which is also part of his ukadia project.

My image is a very large image all the images that i took were taken in .RAW and edited at full resolution into the final piece. john gotos are smaller than this but i am not all too sure about this because it might just be that over years of people downloading and re-uploading the images the larger versions are hard to find.

Mine and his images are both manipulated it is for the fantasy landscape effect

John gotos images are for historical social and political reasons and were made to send out a message while mine was more of an idea that i had in my head and wanted to go through with it because it was something i had never tried to do before.

our images are not of the same subject because they are many different images so there was no realistic way they could of been of the same subject.

While john gotos images are of a landscape that has been completely altered by himself mine is of a smaller object that i have tried to bring a landscape into.
