Number 4 might have had some photoshop to it apparently. He said “Li Wei states that these images are not computer montages and that he works with the help of props such as mirrors, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics. He then removes the wires and scaffolding with Photoshop to create these seemingly impossible photos.” It is a cool shot but photoshopping out wires and scaffolding makes it much less cool.
