At first glance, the Freak of Nature collection may just look like blurry colors mashed together using Photoshop, but on closer inspection you realize it's actually a very clever manipulation of outdoor scenes. Most of the images were shot trough the trees, where the sun already tends to make interesting patterns. Then, using a selection of lenses and a process that I will simply call "photo magic," the Freak of Nature collection displays Mother Earth as never before seen.
The Freak of Nature collection was taken and produced by Jakob Wagner, a very talented artist who has been featured on Trend Hunter several times before. Not even the most powerful hallucinogens on earth can produce imagery like this. Not that I know or anything.
