Forced perspective in photography is a type of optical illusion. Objects appear to be a different size or distance due to the angle you shoot from. You can turn tiny objects into giants or shrink buildings. A classic example of forced perspective? The tourist shot of a person "holding up" the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

This photographer named Hugo Suissas from Lisbon, Portugal creates surreal, mind-bending, and magical photographs by using forced perspective and angles. He turns simple bridges and landscapes into surreal and fantastical places, and items like keys, fruits, and kids' toys into magical props. Every single photograph has a different story and a different idea. They help us see the dull and boring world that we're used to in a new and more fun way.
