These surreal photographic images are the work of John Wilhelm, a 44-year-old IT director from Winterthur, Switzerland.
He works with an array of subjects but his favourite tends to be his three young daughters Lou, five, Mila, two and Yuna, six months.
He puts his creativity down to watching too much TV and playing too many computer games as a youngster.
He says: "I had the luck to grow up in a creative family. Creative not particularly in what we did but in what ideas we were talking about, what jokes we were making."
"If you have a healthy emotional connection to your kids, they can feel if something is really important to you and then they cooperate - and if they don’t there are still sweets and candies."
"I think one key to creativity and the ability to work eclectically can be found in childhood and another one, of course, in the genes as well."
He added: "Most of my images are heavily manipulated but not all of them are compositions."
"If an image works straight out of the camera, I just improve it by using beauty retouching, cleanup, level corrections, sharpening, colours and tones and by emphasising the light."
"What I really love is to bring different images together to create something completely new."
Each composition takes him around 3–5 hours to complete.
