Type of work: Matte Painting

Created for Travel Oregon's "Extraordinary is Ordinary" campaign, this project required assembling Oregon's major landmarks into a natural and cohesive composition while achieving a distinctive painterly aesthetic. The process began with gathering the most suitable photos for each landmark, which I then used to create a photorealistic matte painting foundation.

Once the composition was finalised and approved, I moved on to the next phase: meticulously hand-painting over the entire image to transform the photographic base into an artistic interpretation.

This shot features the iconic peaks of Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson, two of the three peaks of the Three Sisters, Timberline Lodge and the awe-inspiring Blue Basin area of the John Day Fossil Beds. Last touches painted by Brett Stenson.
