Surrealism in Photography

Photography of the surreal kind produces almost a similar effect as in painting and poetry . However the viewer is not usually likely to approach the object with a similar receptive frame of mind as in case of poetry or painting. Surreal images in photography are likely to be more amusing , and less critically appreciated ,on account of a bizarreness which may or may not be intended by the photographer . In the above photograph a bizarre effect is created when you look at the figure of a boy popping out of a tree on a cliff . The bizarreness is , however, not intended .
