Marshmallows and cakes, marmalade and sweets, sweet cream for cakes and many other sweets are a symbol of a carefree and happy childhood. But Ashkan Honarvar, a photographer from Utrecht, all these delicacies are not needed to create the perfect dessert, but for creative works that children, the faint of heart and pregnant women are better off not seeing. Eerie images of mutilated people are echoes of the First World War. The photographer tried to recreate shots of soldiers injured and injured during the fighting using the sweets on hand. Perhaps to sweeten the pill, perhaps wishing to hint that human life consists not only of holidays and cakes, but also has a reverse, terrible side. And that people who have faced this side and survived in the struggle for life are trying to lead at least some sort of normal life, in which there is a place for ice cream, sweets and cakes.
But despite the fact that bright and sweet delicacies appear in the frame, photo manipulations have not ceased to cause horror, not only for impressionable young ladies, but also for stern adult men. Brutal trash, candy-cream nightmare and sweet-marshmallow horror are a talented interpretation of the real, bloody, sometimes deadly horror that only those who fought themselves had to endure, crawled under a hail of bullets, lost their comrades and loved ones …
In addition to photo manipulations dedicated to military injuries and mutilations, the author has other series of very unusual creative works. These and other works by Ashkan Honarvar can be found on his website.

Landscapes from a different angle: photo manipulation by an American photographer
Looking at the photographs of the American photographer Laura Plageman, it can be assumed that she is not happy with the result of her work: Plageman himself crumples, twists and folds her freshly printed photographs, as if taking out the chagrin for the spoiled frames on them. However, such an assumption would be fundamentally wrong: Laura deliberately modifies the shape of the pictures in order to achieve a special visual effect
