There are few photo editors on the internet who have made as big of a splash with their witty antics as British graphic designer James Fridman, Photoshop troll and wizard extraordinaire. Odds are that you’ve scrolled past one of his hilarious photo edits on social media without realizing that it’s him working his magic behind the screen.

James has become notorious for taking photo editing requests far, far too literally. Remember that episode from ‘The Simpsons’ where the family find and use a monkey’s paw to grant wishes, but they’ve all got twists to them? Well, that’s exactly what it’s like asking James for help! He takes requests very literally and it leads to all kinds of shenanigans. Of course, it’s all done with a smile and for the sake of some great humor (hey, laughter’s really good for lowering your stress levels).

Check out James’ finest recent photo edits below and upvote your fave ones, Pandas. And if you’re still hungry for some more literal comedy, check out Bored Panda’s other recent posts about the grandmaster troll himself right here, here, and here. Happy scrolling (and trolling)!

Just remember, if you’re a fan of James’s work, you should really keep in mind that you shouldn’t send him any photos that you wouldn’t want him to make public. There’s no putting the genie back into the bottle after you press the ‘send’ button.

Be sure to read on for Bored Panda's interview with photographer Dominic Sberna about the need to edit all photos for clients at least a little bit, even when you're not going for any major alterations.

    I should never look at these when my husband's already gone to bed (I have a very loud laugh).

    " He takes requests very literally". This is not taking it literally. She asked for the hand to be removed.

    BUT... he asked for it to be BEHIND them, NOT on top. Epic fail (or am I dating myself?)

    It kinda looks like his left hand is a lot bigger than his right hand. The Photoshopped picture looks more natural.

    Do people wear socks with sandals in other countries or is it only trendy Americans?

    Is it just me or does her right leg look a little bit weird above her knee?

    Is it just me with dirty thoughts of what else she would be holding in her hand like that if it wasn't for that rail?

    This is just a dumb way to take a group picture. Even if they cropped out the bottom, it would lose perspective that they're taking a picture of themselves in a mirror but you would still see the lines from the mirror. Why didn't they just use a tripod and put a timer on the camera?

    I don't see why they couldn't just crop out the bottom of the pic 🤷

    When you ask Jamie to fix something it's not because you need a solution.

    No.... This one was next level. He actually tracked the location of the pic, flew out there, bought a hat, went to the location, lined up his camera, and then walked in the frame with the hat, placing it on her head.

    Here's the link to his video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1399760629565624324 The photo on the right has nothing to do with the final image.
