Erik Johansson: Impossible photography

Impossible photography

Combining photos with the same perspective and light creates images that challenge reality, pushing the boundaries of photography.

Seamless integration of images, through matching color and adding defects, crafts a single, believable photo from hundreds of layers.

Imagination is the only limit to creating realistic, impossible scenes; meticulous planning and photo combination bring ideas to life.
