40 Examples of Incredible Photo Manipulation

ahaha foot face is amazing and the head for sale.

Most are pretty great – but some are sub par at best, most of the first few – it gets better down the way though. Big fan of the Perrier one, fantastic work.

I liked the road being pulled……great collection…

awesome! i like the girl with the umbrellas.

I would like to rate them in the following order –
#1 Panther – Big cat has come up really well in this picture manipulation
#2 Cig with ashed city also is an excellent snap and a very well conceived idea.
#3 Lost in the maze of roads !!! Just Amazing…

Beautiful.. fantasy yet so real.

Wow these looks just great. Awesome selection

I used to do a bit of photo-manipulation before getting a full time job, it’s amazing what effects you can achieve. I gotta say though none of mine were as good as those above, outstanding quality. That twisted road one is phenominal.

I’d be curious to see the original pictures to see what they started out with. Very impressive indeed.

Most of them are really great!

very good work

WoW! Just WoW..Amzing Photo Manipulations. Great Collection I like i =)

Nice creativity. Really superb. I am very much excited

Some great manipulations there! Awesome work!
Thanks for sharing!

Regards!

the pics didnt work for me??

really great stuff!

Incredible photos! I’m really impressed!

soooooo amaziiiiiinnnnnggg… i loooovvveeeee themmmm

I`ve got three favourites: the woman in club (Perrier), the pulled road and the lost roads but I think, most are really great!

Images are erroring for me on IE7.

Great works

I love the one with the streets, realy amazing…

Not many things genuinly make me impressed, but some of these are absolutly amazing.

Agree with one of the other coments though, some are below par, but still good!

Perfeitos!

I liked the headless guy-now, how could he see to choose? lol

Very impressive photos. I’d like to learn more about the techniques and software used. A tutorial would be nice, as would some comments on the techniques/inspirations for various photos.

Panther head is amazing. I wonder how people think of the ideas for some of those in the first place. Surreal.

Heads for sale is the best one.

I love the one with the mashed up road and also the one with the sheet road being pulled but all these images are really amazing and makes me want to attempt my own photo manipluations.

the 5th photo is amazing i might use that on my site if anyone is interested in following me @searchantigua

awesome! the supermarket/head one isn’t that diffucult though… but the road mash one is fantastic!

Some people are talented beyond belief.

That leopard is especially interesting. I see it was made with a photo, paintshop pro and plugin filters. It has very intricate 3D effects, a very powerful image.

Nice ones too!

My fav is the one showing the African child, with the dehydrated skin. For me, it is very suggestive in showing the drought and its effects in Africa.
Congrats to the artists!

It’s a very enjoyable list. Warped imagination, inspired madness, pure genius – no matter how you try to describe these creations, one thing is certain. They are fantastic! Just makes us aware how much we love conformity. Anything out of the ordinary strikes us with a magnitude that’s really surprising.

Awesome blog !

Absolutely amazing works!!! Great collection, thank you Walter! Now I have some new inspiration for my next project!

Incredible! Amazing! I don’t have words… Fantastic, fabulous!!!!!!!

hard to see how some use photography at all – seems GFX only – but they still look stunning

awesome and beautiful…the road is my favourite…gr8

Perfect!!

I wonder what types of plugins/filters they used to get these effects. I don’t think it’s just standard photoshop/corel or whatever they used. Really nice work!

Here is one that should be there.

what a wonderful collection of plugins………

Wow stunning

damn amazing stuffs…the man on the stick and the road lost nice stuufffsssss…what SPECIAL PLUGINS ARE THESE????

Wow, these blew me away…awesome collection. Thanks for sharing

so much great work.

just wow

It’s just Perfect!!!~~~

Too bad digital manipulation isn’t real photography and shouldn’t even be called as such. Real talent comes from shooting real scenarios, real people, real objects. These people have a great imagination, and a great talent, but it just shouldn’t be called photography. Ansel Adams is a real photographer, not these artists…

Wow! freaky cool!!

I totally love the first one! Very nice collection again – there’s nothing like a cool WDD-list at the end of a hard day

a great place to get inspirations and understand how much I suck!

The first one is fantastic. All round great list!

very cool i enjoy it >>

Absolutely beautiful work… truly inspiring =)

Wow!

two are with cigarettes, and more than two with “mineral” water.. you can tell where the big marketing budgets are

I especially like one of the fellow pulling the road behind him. I don’t know that I’d call these photo manipulations; some look like they were painted using an illustration program.

I was wondering if you could purchase a print of one of these. I would definitely pay some money to get a poster version of 2 or 3 if it cost $20-$30 per copy.

Don Quixote; walking “tree-man”; foot face… especially – The Choice of a Head (creativetempest/3210475627/) – are amazing…
And many, many others also…

Wow. Every one of these manipulated pictures look fantastic. Very inspirational.

amazing !!!

Here’s the original of the exploding girl (Hayden Panettiere)

All fantastic shots. Love the tangled road.

i really like the one with the guy dragging the road! very cool

EXCELLENT….EXCELLENT…..

Love the one of the man and the dead tree!

I like the disco ball melting!!

you are just brilliant!!!

nice job

Great!

GEESHHH… Im so sick of going to comments and see people screaming about the pics being photoshopped… like you guys know. These are real pics and all you posers screaming about pixels… get a life… I have seen some of these in real life.

heheheheheee… sorry. I just had to.

Some of them are freaky…eerie..loved the umbrellas and the girl…

cool

Cool….. its so amazing!

Pictures are awesome…. I couldn’t stop showering praises on the one who designed these.

Simply Superb …

So great!

Absolutely incredible work. Who has that type of imagination to even conceive of some of those ideas?

The picture of the girls in a nightclub, melting, is amazing. Really conjures up the concept of a really ‘hot’ night!

ohh….wowwwwwwwwwww….. awesome work really unbelivable…… excellent keep it up

Amazing stuff. …..aaaaaaaaargh…when am I gonna get this good?

Awesome pictures. It takes some real time and dedication to come up with these amazing manipulations!

some of them are really breathtaking .

Wow! amazing stuff. Very inspirational.

well well well mind blowing work! What an Idea sir G !

rainbow smoke is gotta be the best.
great pics all of them.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG VERY NICEE, I love it!

Wow! all are amazing! I like the one searching for the head.

Cool post!
This is my contribution to the list:

cheers!

amazing………)

Very creative artist!

Great technical mastery, it takes an awful lot of skill to pull most of these images off, and for that I can say bravo. On the other hand I thought a lot of these images were trite and lacked conceptual originality. How many times have I seen flame girl, or water girl? The image world is saturated by these, and I for one would like to see something else. A few were good and showed some interesting and unique ideas like the night club image and the road pulling, but overall they lacked ingenuity.

simply awesome. I liked the guy pulling the road and man searching for head.

The Leopard in color is AMAZING!!!

amazing collection thanks

i thought these were all very well put together the way u combined some of this stuff was completely seamless i loved every one of them in fact if u dont mind id like to use sum as wall papers

Wow, amazing pictures… I wish I would be as good in Photoshop as these people are…

how about this one? http://eligodesign.deviantart.com/art/REQUIEM-115717579

OMG incredible, the road one is great.

Just GREAT!

would like to rate them in the following order –
#1 Panther – Big cat has come up really well in this picture manipulation
#2 Cig with ashed city also is an excellent snap and a very well conceived idea.
#3 Lost in the maze of roads !!! Just Amazing…

that colorful smoke is totally amazing

Beautifl compilation of photos

Wow these are some impressive artistic interpretations. Some of these are off the charts. I wish my photoshop skills were up to this level.

loved it! i liked particularly of the one where the roads get into a knot (sorry about my english: i`m portuguese). the work shown is quite inspirational and beautiful. i can`t acess the technical merits, but the visual feeling and the ideas portrayed in these pictures make me feel to privileged to see them. Thank you for sharing your work and allowing me to live a moment of beauty!

See Jeffery Scott’s Work.
