Man Goes Viral for His Insane Perspective Shots
Lisbon-based photographer Hugo Suíssas basically looks at famous landmarks and thinks, “Yeah, I can prank reality with that.” Instead of pointing a camera and calling it a day, he sketches wild ideas first, then wanders around until a random object and a famous place line up like destiny. The final photos feel like sorcery, but it’s really a play on angle and lighting.
A Tropical Island’s Cheesy Moment

This shot sells the idea that a whole island can fit between two hands. The turquoise water and clean horizon keep the scale believable, while the falling shreds of cheese add motion that makes the illusion feel spontaneous. It’s a classic Suíssas move… take a huge landscape, then shrink it into something that belongs in a kitchen.
Lisbon’s Arch Turns Into a Light Bulb

The arch already has a strong structure, so turning it into something mechanical feels believable. When the metal bulb base lines up with the opening, it suddenly looks like the whole city is being screwed into place. To top it off, people walking in the background help anchor the scene in real life.

The dome’s repeating lines already look like umbrella ribs, so once the handle shows up, your brain just goes along with it. The clean center framing is doing Olympic-level work here, because if that alignment drifts even a little, the illusion falls apart instantly.

Infrastructure becomes playful when curves start aligning. The bridge’s arch and cables visually echo the reel’s shapes, so the brain accepts the mash-up quickly. This is also why the Portuguese photographer’s images hit; you just want to stare at them long enough to figure out how they were staged.

The Opera House looks like folded paper. Suíssas’s artist eye really worked by matching the page edges to the sails. It’s a travel photo and a visual pun at the same time, exactly the kind of combo the internet loves.

Color matching convinces everyone through the visor’s warm tone, which blends with the terracotta roof. If you don’t believe in planning, this shot shows how it matters. The hand position is casual, but the alignment has to be precise to keep the curve believable.
The Musical Skyscraper

You don’t see a building first. You see a guitar neck mid-song. The window rows seem like frets, and the hand placement seems like someone holding a chord instead of grabbing concrete and steel. It works because nothing is forced. The low shooting angle shrinks the tower just enough to sell the illusion.
Twisting Tower Drill Bit

Some buildings practically beg to be turned into tools. Take this, for example: the twisting tower mirrors a drill bit’s spiral, and the foreground drill completes the joke. As you keep your focus on the spiral alignment, it looks complicated until you notice the shape match.
Tweezers Meet the Sunset Bridge

At the right angle, the bridge stops looking like infrastructure and becomes a giant eyelash against the sky. The evenly spaced supports seem like delicate lashes, and the tweezers look like they belong in a makeup routine.
Snipping Cables With a Pair of Scissors

Cable-stayed bridges are basically lines waiting to be cut. By placing scissors at the right angle, the cables seem like taut string, and the tower becomes the ‘thing’ being trimmed. The bright sky helps the cables stand out, and the orange handles add a pop that tells viewers exactly where to look.
