This top list is an inspiration to all photographers looking to embrace a potently illusive photography style.
The style has been embraced by top photographers such as Mark Sarco, Christophe Gilbert, Brian Walker and others who are masters of the technique and merges reality, illusion and fantasy with intensely creative ideas and potent photo effects. Each photographer is regarded as an innovator and portrays unique illusory photo techniques which you can learn from. Whether its fancy floatographs, blendtography or illusory naughtytography you’ll love every innovation. The photography illusion effects, filters and techniques are ideal for anyone who wants to capture large audiences’ attention and add magic to their photography.
I urge you to play around with these illusion techniques and take your photography style to a whole new level. Who knows this could be that masterful technique that could make you rich and famous.
