I have a rule to avoid placing photoshoped real-life illusions on this site. So many times I hear in my comments: “This illusion is Photoshoped“. I can assure you, that those of you who claim so, are 99% of the time – wrong. Rarely when I post photoshoped illusion, I state it clearly in the post body not to mislead you. Well, this time I couldn’t resist to put this beautiful photos submitted by Eshita Anjum. I’m aware they are edited by a computer, and it is obvious they are. This masterpiece art collection was done by Christopher Gilbert, and you can see the full collection inside. For more photoshopped images see: painted trucks, water flames and the moon star illusion. Enjoy!

wow. those are pretty cool photoshop illusions. i really like the one withthe horses. btw, first post
Amazing… Great Talent Love The Blue Dress
Very nice… Talented too!!
Thanks again Vurdlak !!! :)
third!!! well any way they’re pretty cool. is the secon 1 pouring paint on her self?
Wow! I wish I were that good with Photoshop!
these are photoshopped! theyre not real illusions! this site is stupid! lets talk about some random offtopic subject! yay!
You’re just jealous that you can’t do it. That’s the only reason people say things like that on a public form.
Love them!! Although the bath one is kind of freaky…
i like them with the exception of the lady in tub…looks weird and freaked look
love them all! like the horses the best.
Actually there are NOT pohtoshopped. The Horse on was taken using small model horses.
Are these photos photoshopped? I think they are.
The 3rd pic is scary
Come on people. Everyone knows that when you smell coffee your hair turns into a bunch of horses, and when you pour paint on yourself you turn into a mermaid!!! But why…WHY do these people have such strange spines?!? Anorexia is bad…
that’s incredible
ok, this is pretty awesome. this is probably my favorite optical illusion out of all the whole website. AWESOME!
the first two r gud…great in fact! (btw, could ppl pls stop saying, first post or first comment? its getting annoying)
dat chicks got some long arms ( #3)
OOoooh I like that first one! I love the horses!
Wow, those are gorgeous!! I especially like the first one… stunning!!
Amazing what digital photography can do. They are beautiful!!
Amazing! Wonderful thing a photo editing software could do. I never imagined that Photoshop is a very powerful tool.
I always look the lady in blue,I was so amazed
asking my self,how they do that?More suc6 to the one who made that.
Wow, great job with the horses, my jaw dropped!
awesome work
mermaid hunh funny alls i see is the paint turning into a dress on the woman the horses are cool the third one is kinda retarded
The work is incredible. But if you can afford to produce work like this, can’t you afford to feed your models? The model in the second photo looks about twenty pounds from certain death. It kind of breaks the magical spell they would otherwise create.
Can’t wait to start droping everything to go shoping where I could get poped in the head by some random spell checker.
they’re not illusions in the slightest but they’re nice to look at
Yeah, these aren’t really illusions, this is just photoillustration. I used to be vehemently anti-digital art for all the yadayada reasons but now I am one. I still like shooting black and white film but digital photography and computer programs have caught up. I now live by this old Austrian motto “To Every Age Its Art – To Art Its Freedom!” Passing shopped images off as real is still a no-no, except of course if you’re purposely culture-jamming.. then thats art too! ;)
20 lbs from death is a pretty far jump, some girls r at a perfectly healthy weight at 105 and 20 lbs below that is 85 (hopefully u understand math) and that is quite a difference.
my dad doesnt like art like that he thinks it is odd…but i love it
wow! i love these collection! way way great!
LOVE the horse one. Absolutely beautiful. The paint dress one is gorgeous too and the bathtub body one is freaky but very creative!
I have been looking for more information about the Woman in Blue Paint for a number of years now! I can’t believe I found it here… who is the photographer and where can I find out more about it? The model reminds me of Angelina Jolie so much, it’s uncanny. Great photographs, photoshopped or not.
Did Christopher Gilbert do all these pictures?
Contact me at CatherineTodd2 at gmail dot com if you know more about the blue paint photo. Thanks!
I find the 3rd the best and most interesting and the 1st OK. The third is like a lady that is the tub but if u notice, her legs are in her tub !
the woman in bath needs to move her head XD
Third one is the coolest… it’s like she’s bathing in herself. Made me think way more than the other 2, which are still gorgeous though.
i like them but the last one is creepy as hell *_*
Its quite amazing..
There is no competition to creativity and imagination and the above illustration is a big example of it. :) Hats off…
