{"product_id":"imagine","title":"Imagine","description":"Electrical lines that turn into the strings of a massive guitar in the sky. A man dragging a bed sheet, which turns into a road, across an empty field. A charming cottage on an island that is actually the back of a giant fish. Digital photography artist Erik Johansson has achieved international fame by taking and then combining photos into surreal, M.C. Escher-like worlds. This is his first book, and it captures the improbable and impossible in fifty distinctive images. Digital artist Erik Johansson starts with a simple hand-drawn sketch, but what you see in the end is anything but simple: dazzlingly realistic scenes made of hundreds of photographs--all meticulously staged and propped and then stitched together in software--offer a glimpse into wholly invented, incredibly detailed worlds. While shooting takes only a few days, Johansson's planning and retouching process each take months, resulting in out-of-this-world images that have won him fans worldwide.  Here's what people are saying about the Erik Johannson's work:   \"Erik Johansson has created a portfolio of stunning images combining photography, raw materials, and digital editing.\" -- Daily Mail UK  \"Erik Johansson ... has [taken] the blogosphere by storm by producing heavily manipulated photographs [that] invert aesthetics as we understand them, inspired by MC Escher and other surrealist artists.\" -- Independent UK","brand":"Weldon Owen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973031628966,"sku":"9781681881676","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/imagine-9781681881676-14043727101996.jpg?v=1656046037","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/imagine","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
