Very nice =)

Thanks, hope you enjoyed it, thanks for the RT too :-)

Most of these are not “photographs”, they’re illustrations. Big, BIG difference.

Wow! Those are phenomenal! Great work!

Great article! Awesome pictures

Featured today at the ZK Times

Exactly.

While these are all awesome images, none are photographs; calling them so does a disservice to photographers and digital artists alike.

*almost none are photographs.

Photographs =/= photo manipulations

But they are great nonetheless.

Aweosme collection!!!

This is absolutely amazing. Is it a natural talent to be this creative? Wow.

nice sharing hk..creative

Mak aih! Cantik! Kretiv gila!

Eh. I came here expecting to see some creative and inspiring photographs and instead all I got was some boring photoshop. I’m not saying that it didn’t take skill to do these, but I was really looking forward to seeing some amazing images that were dependent on skill with a *camera*.

I still liked them!

Really fresh and cool wallpapers

Very cool collection of photographs and creative photo manipulation.

Maybe the distinction between photographs and photo manipulations needs to be made a bit more clear. These certainly belong to the latter camp. While some of them are decent, perhaps it’s a disservice to the craft of photography to simply call these photographs.

While these are all awesome images, none are photographs; calling them so does a disservice to photographers and digital artists alike.

This.

A digital artist is one thing, a photographer is another. When you alter the content of the image you cease to be a photographer.

WOAH! These are really good.

I’d already know the work of Erik Johansson because is simply great but the others i barely know them, and they have a lot of talent.
Thanks for sharing this excellent post.

They’re interesting, but they’re mostly not photographs – they’re illustrations. So sure, if you can illustrate creativity you can create some amazing ideas.

What makes photography amazing is it’s constraints. Being in a certain place, a certain time, or creating a specific experience in the real world. Taking some images then handing them to a graphic designer is not even remotely photographic.

I think most of them can be used for advertising. Very creative :D

This is one journey digital has taken photography on. AS LONG AS IT’S INTELLIGENT WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

I really love this collection! good inspiration ;)

Very creative pieces of work indeed. And I must say, I am proud to see a fellow Belgian artist in this list!

These are NOT photographs!

What interesting images. I wonder what kind of photo editing was done to them.

Truly inspires creative photographs.
Great stuff i like!

Awesome photos!

amazing collection of work

I’m amazed at the amount of butt-hurtedness from people angry over the photograph / photo manipulation-thingy, as if this fact makes them completely worthless. I may induce som nerd rage here, but I for one believe you can be both a good photographer and a good digital artist. At the same time.

I would bet the number of hours spent on Photoshop on these images is much greater than the hours being a photographer.

This is some fascinating stuff. The amount of thought, creativity, time and effort that must have gone into each and every image deserves credit. Love them all :-)

great manipulation images, people should really start to comment on the images itself and not the fact of whether its photographs or not!

This is an amazing collection of exceptional image manipulation, truly incredible.

Photography and Photoshop do a great job together!

Excelent Manipulation Work!!

While the list of nice photos is great and all, I have a question:

Which Social Bookmarking plugin do you use?

Oh wow, these are truly inspiring! Dugg. I particularly love the photo manipulations by Erik Johansson. I will be showing these to my students for sure.

Everyone of you who think that this is not photography but too many hours in front of a computer, I must tell you that on most of these pictures there were many days of photographic preproduction, styling, casting and a big team of assistants, photographer and creatives spending a full day to make that one single images with a equipment worth of around 40k. Now you go off and do it and then complain that it’s just a computer work and all easy to to do. I would also like to see which one of you could take those picture for later retouching.

A camera, a computer, a tablet… all tools. Just like a camera, an enlarger, a developing tank… the fact is, you’ve never seen a photograph that was a TRUE depiction of anything. You’ve only ever seen a photograph that was an artist’s INTERPRETATION of a moment.

Get off your high horses and stop trying to label a process. Artists will use any tools to accomplish their vision. Your labels will not make a damn bit of difference.

i love your all inspiring images. thanks
