Surreal Photo Manipulation by Erik Johansson

[jhony]

Full-time photographer and retoucher from Sweden, now based in Berlin, Germany, Erik Johansson creates surreal photographs that capture the supernatural in the everyday. Although they're obviously doctored, his skills make the compositions look as though they've really happened. Johansson's subjects are shown literally sewing up a landscape, effortlessly rowing through a green field, and setting the ships in a painting free into the ocean. Johansson looks at photography as a way to collect material and to realize the ideas in his mind. He looks at every new project as a challenge to make it as realistic as possible, and he often succeeds.
