Creative boy on famous building background

Hugo Súissas, a photographer from Lisbon (Portugal), uses simple props to transform landmarks into works of art, deceiving viewers.

Hugo Súissas shows off his perspective and creativity through photos posted on his personal Instagram. Currently, his social networking site has 128,000 followers. Each photo conveys playfulness and an interesting message. In the picture, the Portuguese photographer impressed viewers when he extended his hand to “support” the statue of King José I riding an equestrian placed at the famous Praca do Comercio square. In addition to posing flexibly, making himself like a lively piece of the works, Hugo Súissas also uses familiar objects combined with unique arrangement ideas to “transform” each architectural work according to novel perspective. Sydney Opera House is a cultural and tourist icon of Australia. Hugo checked-in this place with a book that made “shells” look like the pages of a book being opened. Similarly, the Belém Tower fortress in the capital Lisbon was transformed into a giant sand castle. Praca do Comercio, the magnificent square in Lisbon, continues to be the inspiration for Hugo to create artistic photos. Three sides of the square are surrounded by yellow buildings in the Pombaline architectural style. The photographer creates a visual effect with the viewer when using an antique key combined in the frame and turning the gate into a lock. In addition, this is also the context for Hugo to create the image of a light bulb. The Eiffel Tower (France), the symbol of the “capital of light”, is associated with a clothespin. The Millennium Wheel (UK) located on the banks of the Thames became a giant pizza with 2 remaining pieces of cake through the arrangement of the male photographer. The 25 de Abril suspension bridge spans the River Tejo, connecting Lisbon with Almada (Portugal). The bridge has a design quite similar to the Golden Gate (Golden Gate Bridge) in the US. With his perspective, Hugo turned this building into a clothes drying plant. A pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Düsseldorf (Germany) was “turned” into a clothes hanger by him. With a rich imagination, Hugo associated the colorful buildings by the canal in Amsterdam (Netherlands) with luminous pens. El Castillo, a top tourist attraction in Chichen Itza (Mexico), was transformed by a photographer into a unique umbrella. El Castillo means “castle” in Spanish. It is one of the oldest Mayan temples and is listed as a World Heritage Site. Opening of the world’s longest suspension bridge for pedestrians The bridge 516 Arouca has just been inaugurated on April 29 in Northern Portugal. The bridge is 516 m long, holds the record as the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world.
