Although the Romain Laurent 'Something Real' photo series claims to be "real," I think we can safely assume that it was brought about through the magic of impeccable post production. A creative soul if I ever saw one, this French photographer is quickly becoming one of my top favorites.
Considering that many of us live our lives in a little bubble, the Romain Laurent 'Something Real' series is quite poetic. My favorite image however, is when the bubble pops, releasing the featured man fully into the world.
