AMAZING PHOTO-MANIPULATION BY MICHAEL OSWALD

Photoshop is probably the greatest software for photo editing. There are many talented digital artists that make the most out of it. And Michael Oswald is one of them. If you haven’t heard of the name yet, he’s an award-winning Photoshop genius from California, USA, who creates amazing artworks from real photographs by using Photoshop.
