There is a surreal aspect to each of the photos found in the Point of View photo series. This dreamlike quality has much, if not everything, to do with the poses and composition of each shot. From jumping shots that make the model look as though he were levitating to lying down shots that make them look dead or dying, the Point of View photo series relies heavily on the viewer's perspective to fill in the blanks that the photos naturally create.
Shot by Norway-based photographer Christopher Jonassen, the Point of View photo series nevertheless has one foot in reality. It is this fact that truly makes each photo seem magical. The shoot makes you look "at people from a different angle," as Jonassen writes.
