PHOTOGRAPHY IS REAL SURREAL

In 1941, American photographer Philippe Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in New York City and they began to collaborate in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dali Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, water thrown from a bucket, an easel, a footstool and Salvador Dalí all seemingly suspended in mid-air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomica (at that which can be seen in the right of the photograph behind the two cats.) Halsman reported that it took 28 attempts to be satisfied with the result. This is the unretouched version of the photograph that was published in LIFE magazine. The frame on the easel is still empty.
The surreal photo by Philippe Halsman taken long before Adobe Photoshop was around created.

There are unretouched versions, showing the devices which held up the various props and missing the painting in the frame on the easel.

In Voluptas Mors, a surrealistic portrait of Dalí beside a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. Halsman took three hours to arrange the models according to a sketch by Dalí.
A version of In Voluptas Mors was used subtly in the poster for the film The Silence of The Lambs.
