Photoshop wizard Erik Johansson creates manipulated artworks which will leave you baffled and amazed.

The Swedish designer creates stunning images of otherworldly moments and scenarios that alter reality.

The self-taught photographer explains that he doesn’t just capture momeunts, he captures 'ideas’.

Any one scene made by the artist is created using a number of different images, seamlessly stitched back together into one specific scene.

Incredibly, none of these images are taken from stock archives. Whether it takes him a few days or several months, Erik will meticulously plan out all of the images he needs for each picture and take them himself.

He explains on his website: ‘I always want to be in complete control of my photos and feel like I’ve done everything myself.’

After all the images are collated, he puts them all together like a puzzle to break one his awe-inspiring images.

The result, seen below, is brilliant optical illusions that completely bend reality.
