Wonders seen from a whimsical perspective.

Hugo Suíssas is an art director and creative photographer from Lisbon, Portugal. He regularly takes purposeful perspective photographs at famous tourist spots in Lisbon and around the world, combining everyday objects to create interesting images.

Each photograph tells a different story and conveys a unique idea. They offer viewers a fresh and creative perspective on familiar landmarks. The photos shared on Hugo's Instagram page are like a "creative world," opening up incredibly unique visual effects that few would imagine.

Let's admire the creative photographic ideas of Hugo Suíssas, captured in various locations around the world.

The Sydney Opera House, also known as the "shell opera house," is one of Australia's iconic tourist attractions. With its unique architecture inspired by sails reaching out to sea, the opera house has become one of the most iconic architectural works of the 20th century and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Hugo checked in at this familiar location with a book, making the "shell" resemble an open book.

Praca do Comercio is the most magnificent square in Lisbon, Portugal. Three sides of the square are surrounded by yellow buildings in the Pompbian architectural style, while the south side faces the mouth of the Tejo River. Located within the square is the Rua Augusta triumphal arch, the gateway to the city center. Hugo transformed the arch into a filament light bulb by placing a metal cap at a perfect angle to create this innovative perspective.

At this same location, the photographer created a visual effect transforming the gate into a padlock by photographing it with an antique key. Previously, in the 18th century, this area was where captains and merchants would plan perilous sea voyages to Brazil, India, and Southeast Asia, and then trade goods upon their return. Later, an archway was built on the north side of the square as a symbolic gateway to Lisbon.

Another tourist destination that Hugo creatively captured in his perspective photography is Belem Fortress – one of the symbols of Portugal. The fortress is a testament to a prosperous maritime era, the starting point of the long sea voyages undertaken by Portuguese explorers to distant lands. The fortress was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Hugo skillfully created the visual effect of a bucket pouring sand down onto the "giant castle" of Belem.

Chichen Itza is a massive complex of ancient ruins located in the northern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It is the greatest surviving structure of the ancient Maya civilization. In the Mayan language, Chichen Itza means "mouth of the Itza people's well." The name is linked to the location of the ancient city: situated next to volcanic rock caves – where the ancient Maya primarily obtained and used water. It is now a World Heritage site attracting many tourists. Hugo transformed this pyramid into an umbrella.

Hugo likened the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, to a clothespin. It is an iconic tourist landmark of Paris, the City of Lights, and France in general. The 300-meter-tall, 81-story tower was once the tallest building in the world until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building in New York in 1929.

The London Eye, weighing over 1,000 tons and standing 135 meters tall, is the tallest observation wheel in Europe and among the top 20 tallest structures in London. It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in the British capital, located on the banks of the River Thames, opposite Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster. Hugo creatively transformed the Ferris wheel into a giant pizza, but with only two slices remaining.

The photograph above, taken by Hugo, depicts the 25 de Abril Bridge, often referred to as the twin of the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States, with a total length of 2,278 meters. It is the longest suspension bridge in Europe and the first suspension bridge built in Lisbon, Portugal. The structure is named "25th of April" in commemoration of the Carnation Revolution. Hugo's photograph creates a visual effect by transforming this historical structure into a makeshift clothes rack.

In addition, Hugo has many creative photographs taken at tourist destinations around the world. He shared: "As an artist, what inspires me in life is knowing that art and ideas can create miracles."
