His name is Erik Johansson from Norrköping, Sweden and his artistic creations will dazzle and amaze you. At 25 years old, Erik has already become a master at photo manipulation. In his own words:
“For me photography is just a way to collect material to realize the ideas in my mind. I get inspired by things around me in my daily life and all kinds of things I see. Every new project is a new challenge and my goal is to realize them as realistic as possible.”
Erik started this journey into photo manipulations in 2007 when he bought his first SLR camera. He now uses a Canon EOS 5d mark II, Canon L-lenses, Elinchrom RX-flashes and Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Photo manipulation or digital editing of photos are techniques used on photographs in order to create an illusion or deception that appears real. The slang is photoshopping and it can be seen everywhere.
Erik Johansson definitely has tremendous creative talent…

I want you to think about this quote by one of my favorite people…
They for use were made.
What’s a sundial in the shade?”
