Some people have jazz hands; other people have banana hands. (It’s a matter of personal preference.) Advertising photographer, Ray Massey, falls into the latter group.

The London-based photographer uses hands for his canvas, and with lighting, paint and a little retouching, he’ll turn your finger into a fountain pen. Seriously! Look at this next photo. REALLY look at it.

Amazing, right? I marvel at Massey’s transformations. The imagery of fingers becoming pencils speaks directly to me, but Massey renders all kinds of illusions. While I might not relate to hands morphing into sportsball players, the images are way cool to look at. Click on through to the other side, and have yourself a great weekend.
