It’s very easy to alter a photo digitally, but taking a picture that will blow your mind without using Photoshop isn’t quite as easy. One of the best ways to create natural and surreal photographs is by using reflections. These types of photos play with perspective and force you to look at the image in a different way due to the optical illusions that they can create.
To exemplify what we mean, take a look at the 20 pictures below. This list includes some of the best optical illusions caused by reflections around. Some of them are funny, others are very beautiful, and all will play with your mind!
