PNG Photo Pack: Rocks Cliffs

Download on Artstation

Description

The PNG Cutout Photo pack Rocks Cliffs contains cutout images with transparent background of big rocks, cliffs and rocky mountains. This pack was shot in China and South-Korea, the cliffs and the big rocks from the shore area are located in Donghae, Sokcho and the small and peaceful island of Ulleung (All SK). The organic white rocks are from a park in a Chinese city (I forgot the name). And the rocky mountains is a hiking trail that I did on the mount Ulsan Rock in the Seoraksan National Park near Sokcho.

PNG Photo Pack: Asian Mountains

Download on Artstation

Description

In the PNG - Cutout Photo Pack Asian Mountains, you will find 100 cutout images (with transparent background)  + their full JPG if you need to use the context of the subject + 5 layered Photoshop files with all of the original photos + masks so you can modify them at will.

This pack was shot in various spots in South-Korea. The whole country is filled with mountains and it is not a surprise that one of the main sport is hiking. The mountains in this pack are pretty small and that is why there are so much green vegetation growing on them.

Photo Reference Pack: Abandoned Houses

Download on Artstation

Description

The Photo Reference Pack Abandoned Houses was shot in South-Korea. In this post-apocalyptic mood, the roofs let the light feeds the new vegetation. Nature starts to take back its rights. It seems dusty but somehow the air is pure again. The walls are damaged and somehow still standing although the grounds are messy. It is hard to walk just a few meters without risking to fall into a hidden hole. Did some people came to destroy these houses ? Did the owners had to leave on the spot because of war or a natural disaster ? Many unanswered questions come to your mind when you explore these houses in decay and these are good inspiration to tell a story about the end of our world.

Photo Reference Pack: The Great Wall of China

Download on Artstation

I went hiking on the Badaling section of the Great Wall near Beijing. This section is well preserved and there are not too many tourists (almost none actually), which was very nice. Probably because this hike is 6 km of 20 000 steps, hmm... It is said that you are a hero once you get to the end of it. I guess I'm a hero and I brought back this reference pack

Photo Reference Pack: Asian Vehicles

Download on Artstation

Walking around China I couldn't help to notice that vehicles are also a big part of the Chinese culture nowadays. They all have something that makes them unique. I don't know if it is because I am a foreigner but I feel like there are more story telling into these vehicles than ours. Also, Chinese people seem to like them very much because pretty much all of them are customized... or damaged.

Photo Reference Pack: Alpine Forest

Download on Artstation

Description

I shot the Photo Reference Pack: Alpine Forest around Valchevrière during summer. The lighting was fantastic and the big feature of this kind of Alpine forest is the "Whaow effect". I was hiking in a green forest, covered with moss and god rays spreading between the trunks. There was a smooth feeling in the air and then, I started to see some blue colors behind the leaves. I walked closer, I moved aside the branches and I sat on an amazing point of view !
