Magical photo retouching

Ready for more stunning work? Erik Johansson is a Swedish photographer whose retouching skills put my jaw on the floor. Most clients ask me to change the wood finish on a product from cherry to oak, or smooth down some stray hairs in a headshot. It's like performing a card trick at a kid's birthday party, while Erik makes the Statue of Liberty disappear. See more of his work right here.

    This looks like more than retouching... its like photo creating or something. Art of some sort.

    I mean, I know retouching is art too, but this seems different.
