Mother’s Shadow Art of Her Daughter is Adorably Imaginative

I’m loving these magical photos by Kelly Tan. The full-time mom, part-time photographer is the digital artist behind these pieces called I Have a Dream. Amazingly, she creates them using only her iPhone. In the image above, Kelly took a photo of her daughter on a rocking horse and then added in other elements. Her pieces take anywhere from three to four hours to complete. As she told iPhone Photography School, “Searching for the right raw images is important and also the most time consuming.”

Here are some more imaginative images from her I Have a Dream series. I like how she always shares the iPhone apps she uses as well as gives the photo credits. (Not that we could easily replicate her work.)

?I WONDER… ================================= •Apps used: ArtStudio, Snapseed, PS Express. •Photo credit: Personal stocks (my daughter with her blocks, wall 1), subziro (floor), sxc.hu (wall 2, giraffe) •Story about: imagination •About this picture: || One day, my daughter brought the blocks instruction for me, asked me to make a boat for her according to the instruction. But I told her…"Don't play what's there, play what's not there. The instructions just inside your/my mine. Then she made a giraffe for me. 🙂 ||12.03.2014|| ————————————————– ================================= •Momentage > @Lovepaperplane •Facebook Page > Lovepaperplane •Another IG Account > @love_paper plane ————————————————– ================================= Please don't claim this picture as yours.
