Designer James Fridman has decided to use his Photoshop skills to alter people's personal photographs -- except he's taking their requests as literally as possible.

His hilarious photoshops give people exactly what they want, whether they're seeking to improve their physical appearance or make their surroundings more exciting.

While Fridman encourages people to send him their photos with requests, he says on both Twitter and his website that people should not submit personal photos that they do not want to be made public.

But not everyone who requests gets the Photoshop treatment. After one user requested he make her look more like a Kardashian, Fridman sent back her photo un-retouched, telling her she's beautiful as she is.



Mashable reached out to James Fridman about his work and he declined to comment.
