Can you see me? Incredible body artist camouflages models to blend in with Wonders of the World

A body artist has created an unbelievable set of photos of a man blending into the wonders of the world.

From the Great Wall of China to Peru's Machu Picchu, artist Trina Merry really has gone to the ends of the earth to show off her awe-inspiring talent.

Each of the shots takes a mammoth EIGHT hours to set up as the model is painted and moved to fit in with the background.

The result is stunning - some of the shots are so exact that the model is almost invisible.

As well as the Great Wall and the Inca Trail, Merry took her work to Rome's Colosseum, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Petra in jordan and Chichén Itzá in Mexico.

But she has also taken one of the UK's most oldest 'wonder' - Stonehenge.

“I really wanted to understand what makes a place ‘great’,” Merry said.

“Why do these physical structures go down in history?”

“I was amazed that, due to the nature of contemporary tourism, so many people idealize these places but they leave with some selfies, a branded trinket and a bit of disappointment. They looked… lost.”
