Israeli photographer Hossein Zare is known for his anti-gravity photography, but his latest work proves to be his most surreal series yet. Any onlooker would feel as if they were in a dream when staring at these stunning images.
The images are full of striking atmospheric symmetry and compositions. He photographed beautiful and expansive landscapes and then manipulated them with Photoshop to add surreal aspects. The majority of the photos feature a lone figure amongst the large landscapes with a bizarre twist. For example, in one of the photos a man can be seen standing on a beach, but the ocean is actually flipped over and is depicted above his head. The other motif photos are equally as fascinating and intriguing.
