The young photographer has more than 20,000 followers on his Instagram page and describes himself as a 'visual artist'.

A dramatic anime-style fight is recreated by Sulabh in this image where he uses camera tricks to make it look like he has kicked the Sun in an attack against an opponent

In one stunning picture, Sulabh appears to be carrying the Sun on his shoulders, with his arms held out wide.

Another sees him 'pushing' the Sun off of a sheer drop and walking away. 

Commenting on his work, Sulabh said: 'A perfect silhouette should convey the feelings without showing facial expressions.

'The one in which a strong man seems to be struggling to push the sun does this with ease. It is a favourite of mine.

The photographer from India (pictured), started taking the striking images of the sunset four years ago and has amassed more than 20,000 followers on his Instagram account

In this picture, Sulabh appears to be sowing the Sun. In a series of four snaps, he swings his arms as if working away on the ground while keeping the Sun firmly tucked into his tool

The Sun is perfectly angled in this picture so that it appears to be sitting on an electricity pylon, like a massive streetlight

Teamwork makes the dream work: While dangling from the edge of a sheer drop, Sulabh appears to pass the Sun over to someone dangling from another nearby ledge

Tightrope: Sulabh wanders across a tightrope that cuts across the surface of the Sun. The bright yellow of our star contrasts perfectly with the shadow of the photographer performing his balancing act

'My feelings during a sunset are too intense to describe in a few words.

'One guy once commented on a sunset image that he is my biggest fan and every morning he shares my work with two-hundred people and waits eagerly for my new images.'

Sulabh first began taking the creative pictures of the sunset four years ago and now does so with his Nikon D5300 camera with a 70-300mm lens.
