Photographer Antti Karppinen was recently hired to do a portrait photo shoot with Cardiff-based singer and songwriter Jammy Harris. For one of the shots, Karppinen decided to create a mind-bending image of Harris sitting on a stone ledge over rough waters using a creative perspective and photo-manipulation.
Karppinen started out by scouting out a suitable location and sketching out the photo concept he had in mind:
Next, Karppinen photographed Harris lying down on the ground horizontally against the stone bench:
The photographer then rotated the image, filled in the background and sky with a seascape, and added a cityscape to the horizon.
After a little more tweaking of colors, Karppinen arrived at the final image:
Here�s a short 4-minute video showing the photo shoot and the Photoshop work that was done after:
Harris is now using this mind-bending photograph prominently on his official website.
P.S. Back in February, we shared a conceptual wedding photo Karppinen made of a sideways world created in an ordinary bar.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
