Surrealism

Surrealism is a perfect assignment for photography, as the idea behind surrealist art is to bend, not break, reality. Photography is rooted in the real world; it is based on what is in front of the camera. But that reality is distorted through compositional choices, light, color, lack of color in b/w photos, time/motion, etc. Often times surrealist photography is based in fantasy, the dreamscape, or matters of the mind. It can be humorous, sad, and often strange. The human figure is also a common theme. With the ultimate goal to challenge people's imaginations:
