i think what Erik Johansson does with photographs is very interesting, he creates these amazing images of people or things that could not be possible in real life. he uses photoshop and other similar programs to manipulate and change photos. they are very surreal and often make you think of illusion.
i think what he has done in the picture above is incredible, it looks so realistic and yet you know its impossible... i think he also makes very good use of the light in the picture, most of his photographs are telling a story and this makes them intriguing.
this photo has a comical aspect to it however it envokes many emotions, the man in the photo does not look very pleased but then again nor would i be if i was a puppet. aside from his work being very interesting to look at, Johansson addresses some interesting issues for example the picture of the man pulling the road over the grass could be suggesting that we the human race are destroying the environment.
