Pelle Cass is an award-winning photographer based in Brookline, Massachusetts who grey up in Boston. His work is world famous and reaches out to an incredibly wide target audience (his most famous series being Selected People). It is as if he has found a way of creating work that fits into both realism and surrealism, he does so much post production without manipulating anything, as he says:

“I don’t change a thing and I never move a figure or doctor a single pixel. I simply decide what’s stays in and what’s left out.”

“I use Photoshop to increase imperfection, not remove it.”

“My work looks real because it is real, even though it’s based on a trick.”
