Renowned French photographer Romain Laurent conveys a surreal sense of humor in all of his images. He has worked for some of the world's largest ad agencies and fashion magazines, and Laurent's work has been commissioned by companies such as Microsoft, Nissan and the Discovery Channel.
Laurent's fantastic and quirky perspective is always conveyed in his pictures. Check out my favorites in the collection from a layout called 'Pickpockets' for WAD Magazine. I also love the snail-girl with her knapsack shell, sunglass antennae and jeweled slime.
