Photographer Joel Robinson is guided by the common bibliophile principle: "Someone loves life, but I prefer books." With the help of Photoshop, he takes this idea to the absolute - makes a literal "escape" into a world where one can live among giant book pages and feel great at the same time.
Robinson's fun and out-of-the-box photography is influenced by both classic surrealism and pop culture - for example, the popular BBC television series "The Borrowers" about tiny people living in the homes of "ordinary" people. Judging by the photographs, Robinson feels comfortable in the role of such a man - especially if he is given the chance to settle in the library, among giant manuscripts and typewriters.
With the help of graphic editors, Robinson registers his small copy for permanent residence in an ordinary world, which seems amazing due to distortion of proportions. Here you can build a house from books, a dandelion grows to the size of a tree, and in a simple cup you can calmly settle for the night.
Every bright artist approaches the creation of his self-portrait with a fantasy: someone like a 16-year-old Christina Otero, decorates herself with fruits and bright makeup, and Marie Ellen Kroto creates images of herself from bottle caps. Robinson uses Photoshop and inexhaustible imagination to turn every self-portrait into an adventure. The photographer himself experiences it while working on the next picture, and then the audience follows him into the "fantasy world".

Lover of naked nymphs and sponsor of young actresses: The Real Secrets of Lewis Carroll
For many generations of children, the adventures of the girl Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass were the best, or at least some of the most beloved fairy tales. But childhood passes, and instead of fairy tales, we start reading about the storyteller. For the past few decades, what has been written about Lewis Carroll has been confusing and disappointing. But, perhaps, Carroll's love for girls is a myth behind which a more shameful (by the standards of his time) secret was hidden. And it's not even just possible, but there is all the evidence for that. What's on with
