An optical illusion occurs when information absorbed by the eye is processed by the brain to give a perception that doesn’t match the physical measurement of the source.There are three types: literal optical illusions like Shuplyak’s, physiological optical illusions where a specific aspect of vision – such as brightness, colour or size – is exaggerated, and cognitive illusions which occur for unconscious reasons.

One of the coolest scenes of photos is that you can use your camera to twist reality. With the help of natural elements, unique composition, color, light and even photo editing software, you can create works of art that confuse the mind and trick the eye.

The photographs you are about to view do just that. They take a variety of elements and create images that make you stop and think “How’d they do that?” or just laugh to yourself.
