How is the Coollage made?
- 1000 objects manually selected and cut out from thousands photographs taken by Farsad Ghaffarian over 10 years all over the world.
- A program coded by Farsad himself with a specific algorithm creates 35k collages by placing random objects without overlapping the important parts of the other objects, then random backgrounds, shapes and filters are added to give the images a more artistic feel.
- Finally, 10k objects are manually and carefully curated from the 35k collages generated.
