A photo taken on a street where trams run. The unique feature of trams sharing the road with cars is cleverly utilized to create a fantastical image. The use of light throughout the photo is impressive, not only focusing on the tram and car lights but also incorporating streetlights and traffic signals to create a cohesive composition.

A photo capturing the trail of light left by an airplane at an airport. The vibrant guiding lights on the runway at night, the lively city lights in the background, and the light trail stretching into the sky create a stunning composition. Interestingly, the absence of the airplane itself adds a unique beauty to the work.

This work is a mystery to us! At first glance, it appears to be a photo of hydrangeas, but upon closer inspection, it seems to overlay elements of hydrangeas on a photo of a large tree and a red windmill. The scale is inconsistent, creating a sense of unease, yet the unified color palette makes it appear as a cohesive piece. It’s truly fascinating...
In Conclusion
What did you think?
Monochrome photos or those that control light and color settings create surreal worlds born from reality, reflecting the photographer’s intent. Observing such works can even give you a glimpse into the creator’s personality.
