‘Illusion’ is a series by Italian photographer Barbara Scerbo that gives typical portraits a playful, surreal twist.
In her photos, subjects are shown with limbs and bodies that appear distorted and out of sync with the background. The mirrors they hold appear to reflect the surrounding landscapes, but they actually show the scenes located directly behind the subjects.
Baffling and brilliant, these eye-catching optical illusions will definitely make you do a double take.
