Ingo Lindmeier Creates Surreal Photo Manipulations

To create successful photo manipulations, it isn’t only enough to have great Photoshop skills—you also have to have great ideas. Looking at the works of German “Photoshop artist” Ingo Lindmeier, it is safe to say he has both.

Lindmeier’s photo manipulations are some of the best we’ve seen so far. He creates eye-catching surreal scenes that can look like they have come out of someone’s fairytale dream or a kind of nightmare that keeps you up at night.

According to the artist, he takes his inspiration from fairy tales, myths, music, nature, and art. This diversity is easily spotted in his works as they include food in the shape of animals, sci-fi kitchen appliances, haunted fruit, and much more. It seems that each new work can go one way or the other.

“Almost all of my works begin with a passion for the surreal,” he explains. “Often accompanied by playing with words, the sense of playing finds its way out of my head through Adobe Photoshop into the colorful world of images.“

Lindmeier, who also has a design studio that deals in graphic design and web design, frequently shares his newest photo manipulations on social media.
