Tour guides worldwide do a fine job of bringing the surreal to life with their adventurous trips but the 53-year-old Ramette takes surrealism to a whole new level with these gravity-defying photographs that are never retouched in Photoshop – what you see is what you get, no matter how strange it looks. The secret is hidden metal supports he calls “sculpture-structures” and various other tricks such as gelling his hair flat and turning the camera lens on its side. And while reading a newspaper underwater in work-attire does sound pretty darn fun, given the option, we at GuideAdvisor would rather spend our surreal times backcountry skiing in Kathmandu with Patrick OKeeffe, swimming with dolphins in New Zealand with Al Macdonald, or ziplining with Canadian guide Megan K. How about you? Fancy going on an out-of-this-world guided trip, or would you rather pretend to defy gravity alongside the talented Monsieur Ramette?
