Surrealism
Erik Johansson
Erik Johansson (born 1985) is a photographer and visual artist from Sweden based in Prague, Czech Republic. His work can be described as surreal world created by combining different photographs. Erik works on both personal and commissioned projects with clients all around the world. In contrast to traditional photography he doesn't capture moments, he captures ideas with the help of his camera and imagination. The goal is to make it look as realistic as possible even if the scene itself contains impossible elements. In the end it all comes down to problem solving, finding a way to capture the impossible.

Practice Edit
Plan 1
For my first shoot i am going to shrink someone and have them walking along the piano keys.
This is the result of my attempt at recreating the pictures above. I do not think it went well because it looks like he has no right foot and i didn't know how to make it look like pressure was being applied to the keys
Plan 2
For my 2nd shoot i would like to recreate the image below
Plan 3
For my 4th shoot i would like to turn the front of the school into a camera
The Final Edit
In my opinion This edit didn't go as planned. The photos I took in preparation for the edit were good but the edit was extremely difficult.
