Joseph Ford is a 39-year-old photographer from Brighton, UK. He creates images seamlessly camouflaging people into backgrounds using knitwear made by Nina Dodd. It can take Dodd, 51, up to 40 hours to knit one item of clothing. The photography is quite time-consuming, but it’s all broken down into little chunks. Most of the locations are places Joseph comes across while wandering around cities, and the models are also people he’s spotted on the street and asked to pose. In this image a runner poses in knitwear that camouflages into a running track. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)





Nina loves buses and knitting so they decided to shoot a picture of a man knitting on a bus where the knitwear camouflages into the bus seat. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)





Each picture can take about half a day to shoot with a lot of adjusting of the position of the model and clothes to make sure the blend works as well as possible. This example shows twins posing in knitwear camouflaging into the panelling behind them. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)





Joseph loves the challenge of finding graphic locations, picking models who will fit well into them and then working with Nina’s knitting skills to blend them as seamlessly as possible. This man blends in with the complex tiling behind him. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)





This image of a man posing in knitwear, camouflaging into tiles of the steps and wall, is a personal favourite of Joseph’s. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)

Even dogs get in on the act. This one wears a dog jacket that camouflages into a hedge. (Photo by Joseph Ford/South West News Service)
