Surreal Sci-Fi Photography

Justin Benzel's 'The Fifth Dimension' is Both Vintage and Otherworldly

— July 30, 2013 — Unique
Creative artist and photographer Justin Benzel has used his dynamic skill set to create some otherworldly sci-fi photography. In something right out of the 'Twilight Zone' or 'The Outer Limits,' these vintage-themed photographs depict a world where humans were able to get their hands on alien technology.

The monochromatic coloring of the photos help transport you back in time to what appears to be another dimension; ideally 'The Fifth Dimension' as the series is aptly entitled. The main premise of the series is to encourage people to really think about the technology that they use in their daily lives and how it can affect the people around you. If the world had become privy to alien technology in the 50s, how would your daily lives be now? It's definitely an interesting concept and Benzel has done a great job creating this sci-fi photography series.
