See the World's Most Iconic Places Transformed by Whimsical Paper Cut Outs Big Ben, London Arc de Triomphe, Paris London-based photographer Rich McCor understands that his city is a magical one, but like all of us, it’s easy to become tone-deaf to the quirks and nuances of a place simply by way of living there for a long period of time. That all changed when he saw Big Ben as no photographer had seen it before, not as a looming landmark but as his own personal wristwatch. Where most photographers aim to find the iconic in the everyday, McCor’s whimsical universe does the opposite, and there’s true delight to be found in the metamorphosis of normally sobering sights like Paris’s Arc de Triomphe or St Paul’s Cathedral in London transformed into something delightfully ordinary: a Lego man or an ice cream cone.

SPENCER TUNICK Maciej Dakowicz - photographer Photographer Captures Individuals at Their Most Vulnerable: Just After Waking Up Kelsy Gossett‘s Wake Up series documents a tepid space between living and sleep, punctuated by the confused, scared or vulnerable emotions of the people she is photographing. Kelsy photographs couples, individuals, and friends in their safest space of recuperation: their bed. The bedroom is political;, it is where the individual crafts their identity, cultivates a living space and plasters their personality. In Wake Up, Kelsy seeks to touch on these elements, but more importantly, capture the moment of intimacy that occurs between people after waking. The photographer states that “The time between the body awakening and the consciousness fully waking is short and fleeting. Gossett annotates the power of a freshly taken photo after waking as “Inhabiting this intimate space with people allows me to document them just as they are, with guards down and insecurities at bay.” All images © Kelsy Gossett

Freight Train Hopping We Ride for Free Stupido Policia Vinnie Well “Riding freight trains is the perfect crime; you get to break several laws without ruining anyone’s day. The elusive graffiti artist Swampy, who was born and raised on the Californian coast, is no stranger to breaking the rules. The artist admits that the initial allure of freight-hopping was the absence of a price tag, but says he was later spurred on by the newfound sense of solitude – the forward rush, the landscapes you miss while driving, the adrenaline, and the defiance against authority. Swampy’s book not only captures an irresistible sense of freedom, but also looks at the instability of that freedom and the constant threat of it being taken away.
