LEAF-ing much to the imagination, this camera trickery is blooming marvellous. Photographer Christoffer Nicodemus Relander, 26, from Finland, decided to combine man with nature in a unique set of images.

'The first time I was introduced to multiple exposures was when I found a shot taken by an experimental photographer.
