Erik Johansson’s artwork utilizes illusions as he brings his imagination to life. In this photo, “Helping Fall,” he uses different photographs and threads them together to create a whole new meaning and idea. Instead of finding the right place to take the photograph, he creates his own moment and place in time. He possibly used two different photos, one of the two people with gardening tools and another with the tree. He threaded these two together, and with the help of photoshop, made created an illusion of the people sucking the leaves of the tree into the vacuum. Johansson uses movement; the reader’s eyes follow the tree’s leaves into the vacuum. Moreover, using the rule of thirds, the two focal points Johansson emphasizes in the picture are on the left and right thirds creating a composition. He also uses cool colors in the background to offset the more vibrant, warm colors of the tree and people to emphasize them.
