Fake Too Fake by Giovanni Bortolani


Giovanni Bortolani is photographer and digital artist. Begins to shoot pictures at age 11 with the aim of painting landscapes in the garage. Throughout the high school years he develops his projection technique which he uses to paint trompe l'oeil. Pupil of Bruno Munari, he becomes visual designer in Milan at the beginning of the Eighties. He studies at the “Accademia di Belle Arti” and specializes in ad photography in Switzerland. He starts working as a video maker, art director and photographer and realizes many awarded campaigns for eminent brands. Still he doesn't manage to forget his passion and enthusiasm for experimentation of new roads and for sharing his knowledge by means of international workshops. Pioneer of the digital world and wise old retoucher, he gets distracted by the clouds but keeps on painting with light. Living between Milan and Bologna he establishes Hangar58, a workshop dedicated to creativity applied to the digital image.

Creative Surreal Photo Manipulations by Sarolta Ban


Sarolta Bán is a 27 year old self-taught photographer/photo manipulator from Budapest, Hungary. Originally a jewelery designer, Sarolta usually works on an image from a few hours to a couple of days and uses up to 100 different layers for one picture.



“I like using ordinary elements and by combining them, I can give them various stories, personalities. I hope that the meanings of my pictures are never too limited, are open in some way, each viewer can transform them into a personal aspect. So I’m happy if different people find different meanings in my images.”

The beauty of her photography lays exactly in creating scenes that look like they are out of this world, a complete release from any experience that you might have from the real world. So, release yourself from your daily stress and worries and enjoy these beautiful surreal photos.
