Indonesia is lacking in many things but Photoshop masters is not one of them, with image editing savants such as Agan Harahap gaining worldwide attention for his ability to flawlessly insert international celebs such as Angelina Jolie, Justin Bieber, and Paris Hilton into ordinary Indonesian settings.

Now, a new photo editing wizard has cropped up onto the scene. Syahril Ramadan, a highschool student from the island of Batam in Indonesia, has become the latest photoshop sensation by following Agan’s footsteps, though with the slight narcissistic twist of including himself in the photos.

Syahril’s photo edits are so well done it’s almost impossible for laymen like us to find any flaws in them, which has fooled many into momentarily believing— despite the sheer absurdity of the situations— that he really did paint a house with former US President Barack Obama …

… been a member of the Justice League …

… shared a meal with Justin Bieber (and taught him how to eat with his fingers) …

… had a post-workout smoothie with Cristiano Ronaldo …

… and discussed battle tactics with Thor and the Hulk …

In an interview with Kumparan, Syahril revealed that he taught himself how to use Photoshop by watching tutorial videos on Youtube.

“You don’t need to take courses to make these. Just edit with Photoshop, but you must have a good camera as well, so the result comes out well,” he told Kumparan on Friday.

Syahril said that he dreams of becoming a professional graphic designer one day and building his own studio. With his obvious talent, we think he definitely has a shot at making his dream into a reality.
