Almost everyone with a smartphone or a computer has experimented with photo editing at some point, but this photo manipulation master's work is above and beyond any photoshopped images.
Max Asabin, a Digital Artist from Russia, layers multiple images on top of each other, and seamlessly melds them together to create one incredible picture. He does this by trimming the edges of each foreground photo, adding shadows and highlights, and adjusting the overall color to make the Photoshop images look extra realistic. With this technique, he can easily transport anyone into one of his breathtaking scenes. "Digital Art is, for several years now, my main job," Max told Bored Panda, though he has only ever worked freelance. He's been working with Adobe Photoshop CS6 since 2007 and is entirely self-taught.
Max has gained over 35 thousand followers on DeviantArt, where he frequently uploads his cool photos, since his latest piece - Sleepless - was posted on the website's main Facebook page. "Most of them left positive feedback, but there was also critique, both constructive and negative." He told us. "But in any case, I am extremely pleased with such attention!" Max is available for commissioned work, so drop him a line if your old family photos need a supernatural twist.

great work! the step by step gifs on his deviantart are also worth take a look!
It's a play with shadows, which makes them look that way.

Would love a tutorial on how he cuts these persons out of a scenery and pastes them perfectly in another.. amazing work.
Not difficult with the tools available. Can take time to adjust and make 'perfect'. Just search on "photoshop cut out mask". I use Corel Photo Paint and it's really easy. His skill is the composition of the final image and the subtle techniques to make it all blend together.

She is exceptionally pretty and the artist/GD is exceptionally brilliant :)
Photos do appear clearer but theres a little something like a fairytale in them not realistic.
the ps skills are great, but it is the imagination that is wonderful...great job
Isn't that the point - to make them more artistic than a "realistic" photo?

The light around the edges needs more feather and blending to the 3D surfaces to look more real. It looks a bit cut out at the moment and 2D. But otherwise the others are really beautiful.
#4 was a really nice picture. You have a great skill in photosho[
the result is insipid, he need to upgrade his Ps skill level for the density of its blacks...
Imagination is good. Giving these effects are not difficult. Photoshop experts would agree . Very easy to give these effects🙂
being a Photoshop professional, i can say this is not very easy to do. Most of these have at least some level of digital painting done to them, not just a Photoshop effects filter or adjustment applied.
