Mind-Bending Optical Illusions By Swedish Photoshop Master Erik Johansson
We’ve all seen plenty of optical illusions before, but Erik Johansson’s masterfully twisted works of art still retain their power. Perhaps it’s because they’re composite photos, making them some of the most realistic and unsettling illusions we’ve ever seen.
Johansson (whom we’ve written about before here) works as a photographer and as a retoucher. What’s wonderful about his work is that even his officially commissioned pieces are works of art. The photos below involving cars were commissioned by the Transportation Accident Commission in Australia to illustrate the disorientation that can occur when driving under the influence of drugs.
“Although one photo can consist of hundreds of different images,” Johansson writes on his site, he always wants them to “look like it could have been captured.”

Inspiring article! Great, as usual! Keep up the good work! Post processing service is always on point. Unfortunately I can’t repeat it by myself. I give my pics to editouch or fixthephoto. These photo editing companies know how to work with clients. And photo retouching prices are just smashing considering the quality of online photo retouching.
Is he based in Australia? Some of these photos have been taken there.
Is he Australian-based by any chance? A couple of these were taken in Oz by the looks.
