EMIL NYSTRÖM IS a photographer, and he is also a dad.

It’s not surprising, so, that he takes a lot of photos of his daughter Signhild.  What is surprising are the situations he puts her in via the magic of photoshop.

Peta Pixel spoke to Emil about his process, and he outlined how it works.

When shooting a baby like mine, I have to prepare a lot before I shoot, since she is usually not very keen on long working hours. If I get 15 engaged minutes, I’ve had it good. So lights, settings, scenery have to all be in place. Once the baby is on scene, I have to try getting the right facial expression and all the right poses as quickly as possible. Usually I get help from my wife with it. Sometimes when it’s more elaborate we have to have even more people helping. Other then that, there is usually not many problems with these types of shots.

Fair play to him.  You can see more of his images on his website – where all of the above are from,

H/T to Jezebel.
