Thomas Barbey-

‘The inspiration for my work comes from many years of traveling all over the world, every day life and from some of my favorite artists, such as René Magritte, M.C. Escher and Roger Dean. I carry my Mimiya RB-67 and several old Canon AE-1s wherever I go to shoot my photographs. The process of my montage starts with a concept. It is then followed by the exposure and selection of the negatives to be used. The design is then created by carefully choosing printing procedures such as combination printing; sandwiching negatives together thereby printing them simultaneously; pre-planned double exposures in the camera; the retouching of collaged photographs; and/or a combination of all the above.I sometimes retouch and/or airbrush the collages before re-photographing them.I then make a master negative to print a limited edition. I’m constantly asked about how I do them, I would like to think that the pictures can be appreciated without any real knowledge of their technical virtuosity.The visionary inspiration and imagination is not a technical skill learned in school but rather to my personal belief a gift from God.This is the only way I can explain the source of any idea I may have during the creation process.’ - (via Gallery 71)
