Modern Illusionist Photography

The Work of Christophe Gilbert

Christophe Gilbert is a Belgian photographer who works within the field of visual art.

This wonderful portfolio of really beautiful images centered on optical illusions is truly amazing, and we can fully appreciate that by examining the first photo in the gallery. It shows a woman with long, flowing hair that gives the illusion of a herd of running horses.

I think Gilbert's modern illusion photography is absolutely phenomenal.
