Surreal Photomanipulation

hf_erik_3As a professional still-life photographer, Erik Johansson has worked with brands such as Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Volvo, and National Geographichf_erik_1

 

You will probably recognize him from the personal work that he frequently shares online: the Swedish Photoshop Artist and story teller’s distorted reality compositions.

Johansson is based in Berlin, Germany. He picked up his interest for retouching while studying computer engineering. he is as much a photographer as a retoucher which enables him to create almost anything that you can imagine. Having an understanding of each step of the process gives him total control of the whole work process from sketch to final image to ensure a high quality realistic result. Stock photos don’t really work for him, as he wants to have almost the same perspective in every of his images, a similar light atmosphere. That is why he shoots them all on purpose. Often he combines more than two photos together.
