User called Ludo submitted this photo illusions. They were all done by Philippe Ramette, and you can see full collection if you jump inside this article. At first they seemed photshoped, but after few minutes I understood how he made them. Can you guess? Here’s what Ludo wrote: “Hi! Here’s the art gallery of Philippe Ramette, french photographer. He does a wonderfull job, creating a world of illusion.” For more photo art see flickr category: magic torches, painted stairs, model world by Olivo Barbieri, painted trucks, crop circles

    For the ‘water’ that hasn’t been solved: Filters.

    For the chairs: Haven’t any of you ever heard of fishing line?

    boy this man has a hard time gettin to work!!!

  4. danny tarade says:

    yeah the third one if yu turn it upside down you can tell that he just fell into the water instead of laying on it

    In some of the rope ones, it looks like the picture was taken from the ceiling and flipped upside down. I’m not sure about the ones in the water.

    I’m not certain how all of the pictures featuring Philippe Ramette were done, but the chair statues are quite simple. The “rope” that was used in the art are made of bronze. Yes, this is a fact.

    H.T.Dragon-
    “The first one I don’t know about, but maybe he put glue on his feet? That one I’m really curious about…

    The second one I think he’s really just underwater. Maybe he’s got weights attached to him? He also is probably hiding an oxygen mask somewhere that he uses to breathe in between shots.

    The third one’s obvious: he’s just floating face down in water.

    The fourth one is just like the second one, but this one looks like the guy is holding his breath.

    The fifth one is a bit confusing…I’d just have to guess that the rope’s made out ofa heavy material so it doesn’t float.

    The sixth one is easy, he’s just on a ladder in shallow water.

    For the seventh one, he’s probably standing on a rock or a floatation device. Or maybe the concrete structure is bigger than it looks, and he’s just standing on a submerged part of it.

    In the rest, I’d guess that the rope is made out of metal and what we see as the floor is really the cieling. I’d also guess the chair was glued to the rope.”

    LOL u forget on the third one that if he was just simply lying face down in water his hair would be astrew.

    The Water Images
    how to achieve:

    1)Empty a swimming pool so it is absolutely dry.

    2)Purchase a large glass panel which is thick enough to hold an inch of water.

    3)Place the glass over the empty pool.

    4)Cover the top of the glass with and inch of water.

    5)Go into dry part of pool with camera man.

    6)TAKE PHOTOS!!!!

    No, I have never heard of this “Fishing Line”…Whats it used for?

  12. mattjones000 says:

    Hey anoymous about the third picture having his hair astrew, He probably has gel in it?
    And fishing line is the string they put on fishing rods. It’s Really hard to see and underwater it’s invisible. Thats how fishes get the bait, They dont see the fishing wire and think its normal food

  13. john says:

    “And fishing line is the string they put on fishing rods.”

    This just can’t be correct.

  14. cronimson says:

    rope is probably made of flexible but hard material most likely metal

    water images was already answered by Tom

  15. anonymous says:

    well i think the most logical answer to all of these is that he is a magician

  16. anon says:

    the first one was just a well timed shot. the man is falling backwards into he water and the photographer took it when he was parallel to the surface. either tha or hes holding a string

  17. anonymous says:

    ha its all supid the chairs r from a fishing wire and the water has filters

  18. Deumemoto says:

    Why are you all trying to “solve” these pictures? It’s art! Who cares how they did it!
