Family Photos Redefined, Thanks To This Creative Father And His Photo Manipulations

John Wilhelm, a 44-year-old IT Director at a Swiss university and a father of three children, has created stunning, imaginative, surreal and hilarious photo manipulations with his family. Although he has worked with a slew of subjects, it appears that his three little daughters – Lou (5 years), Mila (2 years), and Yuna (6 months) – and their mother Judith are his favourite models of all.

Wilhelm’s photography transforms the real world into a world of fantasy and imagination, where everything is possible and not everything has to be realistic – as long as it’s fun! “ I guess I watched just a little too much TV and played too many video games when I was a kid,” he said, commenting on his highly surreal and eccentric style.

When asked about the difficulties of working with kids, which can often get pretty overwhelming, he said, “I guess if you have a healthy emotional connection with your kids they can feel if something is really important for you and them they cooperate (and if they don’t, there are still sweets and candies).”
