Creative Photoshopping by Erik Johansson

By Bored Panda • Topic: Art, Latest Post, Photography, Weird

There are many people who will say that Photoshop is bad, and that you shouldn’t alter your photos digitally (or at most you should do just some brightness corrections).

Well, panda thinks that this is a big BS! Why should we suppress our creativity in any way?

Just look at these inspirational photo manipulations by Erik Johansson, and think for awhile – could it be done without Photoshop? No!

So stop complaining, and better grab a Photoshop tutorial!

Ok, now let’s get back to Erik, the artist that will kill your boredom after a few seconds.

I guess by “No Limints” you meant “No Limits”. If that’s so, you should correct it.
Bored Panda on October 16th, 2009 at 12:15 pm:
Ehsan, thank you, corrected!
moracca on November 3rd, 2009 at 6:00 pm:

Curses.. I get linked here for your bloody fountain 15 minutes walk from my front door.

Which isn’t usually bloody, people just love f*ckin’ around with that thing, often with soapy suds flooding all over the pavement on drunken nights out =D

.. Then find an interesting-sounding article, only to discover I’m already watching this guy actively on DeviantART >.>

These are absolutely amazing!!! I’ve been working with photochop cs3 for about a year and a half, and I couldn’t pull any of this off.

YEAH DIGITAL EDITING THIS IS ART!!!
Norton Mansfield on February 8th, 2010 at 4:26 pm:
Photohopped, ok, but your work ends up being better because it seems you do some real rendering as well. Awesome, I’ve always liked your Tetris piece, this is the first time seeing others. Where can we see a real life exhibit?
