Guy Merrill's Imagine photo series is absolutely adorable. Centered around the innocent and idealistic fantasies held by children, it is as though a child actually conceived it. Although that might seem like a veiled insult at first, it truly is not. The fact that children have limitless imaginations that are full of possibilities and even impossibilities, Guy Merrill should definitely take that as a compliment.
Based in London, England, Guy Merrill's Imagine photo series was shot for Getty Images. Fun and clever, these images are also simple and ambiguous enough to be used for many purposes. The chalk drawings are particularly endearing, especially when each child interacts with his or her particular backdrop.
