This Photographer Captured 40 Photographs Which Perfectly Show The Power Of Perspective
Interview With ArtistThis photographer named Hugo Suissas from Lisbon, Portugal creates surreal, mind-bending, and magical photographs by using forced perspective and angles. He turns simple bridges and landscapes into surreal and fantastical places, and items like keys, fruits, and kids' toys into magical props. Every single photograph has a different story and a different idea. They help us see the dull and boring world that we're used to in a new and more fun way.
He told Bored Panda: "What inspires me in life as an artist is to know that art and ideas are able to produce miracles. I believe that creativity can be magic and it can help great challenges in the world. My head doesn’t know what the word 'stop' means, and since the world never stops, I would say that it’s a great combination. I am a simple guy, I like simplicity and simple life."

I entered the photography world around 9 years ago.
What I like the most in photography is when I have a novel idea that I haven't seen anywhere else. What I like the least is when copycats try to copy my work, showing a great deal of lack of respect for others and for the artist community."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HIS THUMB AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hugo says he's never studied photography anywhere and he got into it through a friend and the Instagram community. He is very happy to be a part of this and isn't planning to stop. Hugo explained that he really likes ideas, especially original ones. He says that he doesn't really have a style, but works more with intentions.
This picture has a lot of psychological, political and ethical content in these days....
It seems appealing but I’m allergic to mold so it would be a pretty bad plan for me.

"I am what you may call an obsessive artist, in the sense that I won't stop until I materialize in a photo what is in my head. It's a great deal of hard work. Every day I sit at my desk with white paper and pen and I exercise my brain, trying to have meaningful ideas and interesting projects. What made me get here is my almost uncontrollable desire to create things that haven't been done before on this planet, or any other in the galaxy. This is what gets me going," said Hugo when asked to tell us more about himself.
That's what those arches reminded me of. (not giant gaping mouths sucking all your cash inside)
#rocky and bullwinkle! YOU HAVE ONE HOUR TO GIVE ME THE KEYS TO THE WORLD!
Oh my god I stared forever and just assumed it was like a weird coffee cup or prosthetic hands. Thank you! A butterfly clip.

For me, magic and perspective are similar in the sense that all is an illusion. I started to use perspective in my photos, when I realized that it was a great technique to convey an idea and get a reaction from the public. I believe that it was my 'magic' childhood that inspired me to do what I do today. However, perspective is just a tool that is not always present in my work."
He also told us more about the process and if he comes up with ideas beforehand: "Initially, I would just improvise without thinking too much about the final result. Nowadays, as this is practically my profession, I spend more time in the thinking process of making a photo. I plan every pixel, nothing is there by chance."
I'm pretty sure you can't scramble the eggs until after they've been laid.
"Everything that I create, perspective or not, is photographed with my mobile phone. When the picture is not exactly as I want it, I use Photoshop to perfect the final idea. The most important thing for me is the impact and freshness, not how the photo was made," said Hugo when asked about how he creates these photos and if he Photoshops them.
I like how it seems that you’re looking up and down at the same time.
If you're thinking of getting into photography, Hugo has some advice for you: "Don't rush. Follow your gut and practice, practice, practice. Be persistent and if you work hard, I guarantee that you will always be rewarded."
"I have just created the 'Vaccine Towers' project that is going viral at the moment. This project is a worldwide awareness campaign on Covid vaccination with the hope that we can get rid of this virus as soon as possible. We're reaching the peak of the vaccine drive against coronavirus. From New York to Berlin, this project reminds people we can only rise once again if they’re up for getting vaccinated."
Now this is something that no one would think of in a million years . Creative person you say you want ??
My grandfather would always say, "It's time to cut my toenails" when the moon looked like that.
Walking through a building is not just challenging, but clearly painful as well!

If you turn it upside down, it looks like a huge glass table and the end of a road
Cristo-Rei, overview to Lisbon on the other side of the Tagus river.
He had to be pretty far from the statue to have it look small enough, but the distance is too great to have both items in focus.
Photoshop? Why is both guys rather sharp, when the background in general is blurry?
I agree. This is Photoshop, not a play on perspective

Load More Replies...It's double jointed, I can do it too.
Load More Replies...I think so. And a bit of forced perspective too. Amazing!
Load More Replies...I feel like the arm is photoshopped in for some reason, I think it’s because the light is coming from the right instead of a over. But that might be because of the camera?
there should be a hand fan with a peacock feather design and a little ceramic peacock stand for it when you don't use it.
imagine being stranded in the ocean because some seagulls just ate your sail
