Indonesign graphic designer Jati Putra Pratama created these stunningly surreal landscape images. Each photograph is altered to present an illusion that tricks one’s mind into believing what they are seeing is real.
The images take oceanic views and raise the waterfront from a horizontal setting into a vertically upright waterfall-like angle. In addition, many of the surreal landscape scenes combine two images that truly play mind games with the viewer. One image features a woman sitting on the edge of what appears to be a bridge, but below her dangling feet is nothing but thick clouds.
This creative artist uses social media to display his clever photographs. His Instagram page has become a whimsical display of images that reflect the movie Inception.
