Photography is an art. Anybody can click a picture, but only a great photographer can capture the real essence of the beauty which needs to be taken. There are many types of photography and the clicking the perfect picture is just a part of any type of photography. Starting from identifying the location to post-shoot editing up to the finishing touch up there are a lot of processes through which a photographer conveys the message to his audience that is the viewers and all of these takes exceptional skill and creativity. This photographer named Monica Carvalho love creating photo manipulations to confuse your brain by combining two images. She said “Coming up with impossible ‘scenes’ to give people a double take has been my passion for the past 5 years. All my edits are produced in Photoshop, using my own photographs (no stock images). In my inspiration process, I try to find similarities between two images in terms of color, texture, and shape. For example, two mountain peaks I shot in Greece reminded me of an upper lip; a path in Oxford had the same color as my skin; a pouch zip evoked eyelashes.”
