Red Zone is a beautifully image by Peter Breimeier – alias pe be . 
This photograph combines digital editing with a simple original picture to create an exquisitely abstract image. 

The juxtaposition of colour, the use of textures, and the final effects worked in effortlessly blend to turn a simple shot into a masterpiece.

This is an unique photo, Peter. How exactly did you shoot this, and what was done to get the final result?

This picture is just a shoot with my girlfriend in front of a dark background.  A simple image to start a creative digital editing.

What was the mood you were going for when you were in the process of shooting this photograph?

I already had in mind an idea of a picture about the Corona Pandemic, more specifically about distance, danger, breathing…  things like that.  A conceptual and abstract portrait came out of it.

What equipment did you use to achieve this picture?

Just a dark background, adequate lighting and my Panasonic Lumix fz-200 camera.

What programs did you use to edit and process the final product?

I used Photoshop; Photoscape and Picasa – a mix of these three programs – to obtain this final result which pleases me a lot.
 

Thank you, Peter, for your answers!
Red Zone is a beautiful photograph, and hopefully it can inspire for more of these innovative, abstract creations.
