Incredibly Bizarre Photos of Bodybuilder Kids

Share:

Spotted by My Modern Met, these disturbing images of the everyday lives of a group of extremely muscular kids captured by Belgian photographer Kurt Stallaert for his personal project Bodybuilder’s World may look real, but they’re not — and thank goodness for that. His photos — which provoke the viewer in a way that recalls German photographer Martin Schoeller’s portraits of female bodybuilders — are actually doctored, grafting the ripped bodies of professional gymgoers onto the faces of angelic children. Works of fiction or not, the end result is pretty unsettling, don’t you think?
