• Art project 'Bodyscapes' takes parts of the human body and turns them into curious landscapes
• Using Photoshop and unusual lighting, photographer Carl Warner turns the human body into desert scenes
  

London-based photographer Carl Warner has turned nude, muscular bodies into these clever optical illusions that look like desert landscapes.

Warner's photographs for the series are made up entirely of naked forms and interestingly each picture is only made up of different angles of the same person.

Each composition is a single shot of one contorted volunteer, or a composition of different angles of the same body.

Yawn. Liberals can make even sex and nudity boring.

[Hardraade]

Cool, sorta. But original not.

[Future Snake Eater]

Interesting idea, but pretty “meh” in execution.

For triple-canopy coverage, she'd have to be European.

Will the canopy match the jungle floor?

Are there any mountain pics?

I use mashed potatoes and gravy to make volcanoes on my plate. I am an artist!

That’s nice work. Not up to what Spencer Tunick creates, but still interesting.

Nothing new. About 44 years ago I pointed out to my then girlfriend that the Sergio Mendes album FOOL ON THE HILL album had a mountain with a pink tip.

She was offended.

There is a mountain in the Adirondacks called “Nippletop” for the obvious reason.

There was an attempt to change the name to “Dial” but the locals wouldn’t have it. Man names all the world, but that mountain named itself.”

Just as a friendly warning.

Whatever you do, do not fashion those potatoes into the shape of a unregistered gun. You’ll have every SWAT team within a 20 mile radius at your house quicker than your childs doctor can dial 911.

Eh....

Where’s Beaver Valley?
