Ben Robins’ Photo Manipulations are Part Impressive and Part Disturbing

We are always impressed with the level of creativity some artists display with the use of photo manipulation software like Photoshop. However, sometimes that creativity can lead to unexpected and even disturbing results. One artist that walks this fine line between impressive and disturbing is Ben Robins.

Robins’ photo manipulation is done with such precision that they look like photos someone took with a camera. But the thing that always gives them away is the over-the-top scenes they show. This includes Robins being multiplied countless times, having his head twisted off, or seeing his body taking on the texture of Swiss cheese. 

In a recent interview, Robins explained that he got the idea for this project when he wanted to find a new way to express his creativity. Having experience with Photoshop after the unsuccessful 365 Photo Project challenge attempt, he figured he could use it to visualize some of his weird and outlandish ideas.

This new creative outlet proved to be a success for Robins and is now becoming his main focus.

“My plans for the future involve taking photo manipulations out into the world to find new projects and purposes for my images,” he shared. Check out some of his works below.
