A street photographer captures perfectly timed images, and the results will make you look twice

A photograph titled "Man In a Hurry."Edas Wong

• Hong Kong-based street photographer Edas Wong takes photos that result in optical illusions or hilarious moments.
• Thanks to masterful lighting, juxtaposition, and merging the foreground and background, Wong manipulates multiple subjects to make them appear as one.
• Wong spoke to Insider how he developed an eye for his unique shots. "Imagination is king," he said.

At any given moment, there exist fleeting instants of oneness where by some cosmic power, or perhaps plain luck, two things merge together. For a few milliseconds, it's impossible to tell where one subject ends and the other begins.

These scenes are all around us, but many of us don't know how or where to look for them. Which is why street photographer Edas Wong captures and shares them with the rest of us.

Wong always manages to be in the right place at the right time, and he has developed a distinct eye for sensing when the ordinary is about to briefly turn miraculous, whether it's a commuter unknowingly mimicking the ad right behind her or an elephant seemingly blowing a cloud out of its trunk.

Wong spoke to Insider about how he manages to capture such perfectly timed images.
