When Toronto-based photographer Thomas Dagg isn't shooting for clients like BMW, he's re-imagining the world around him as a fantastical place. Taking normal, mundane photos, he makes them surreal with the well-placed addition of a character or object from Star Wars, bringing you back to childhood wonder. Which is exactly the point.
Dagg had this to say about his creations:
"The inspiration was always there, really. I had a very overactive imagination as a kid. This was what I saw when I looked around the world. If there was a jogger running, my mind raced back to Dagobah and Luke training, for example. I used a lot of toys/my most prized possessions from back then to composite in, too. It's very much an homage to my childhood, not just putting popular culture into photographs. It's funny looking back. I used to doodle ships and things over photographs back then, so when I was finally comfortable enough with the compositing, I started working on the major memories I had. Two years later and I'm happy to finally release them."
