These images from German photographer Moritz Aust are surreal and intriguing. Considering the quality and boundless imagination that has gone into these images, you might be surprised to learn that the photographer is a mere 16 years old.
The dreamlike images feature a young man in a number of startling and unnerving situations, such as being blindfolded as a knife is about to fall on his back, or floating in mid air in a forest landscape.
More than just photographs, each one of Aust's images paints a vivid story that leaves the viewer with a lot to think about. Moritz has just completed a 100 photographs in 100 days challenge. I, for one, am excited to see what this young creative voice comes up with next.
