Le photographe basé à Londres Rich McCor nous démontre sur son compte Instagram que les idées les plus simples peuvent donner de grands résultats.
McCor se promène dans la capitale anglaise et à travers l'Europe armé de sa caméra et de son imagination afin de capturer des lieux touristiques en y apportant sa touche personnelle — des formes découpées dans du carton noir. Oui, c'est aussi simple que ça.

Il a fait de Big Ben une montre-bracelet gigantesque, par exemple. L'Arc de triomphe de Paris est devenu les jambes d'un personnage Lego tandis que la tour Eiffel s'est transformée en fusée qui décollait.
« Quand j'arrive sur les lieux, ça me prend environ 15 minutes afin de prendre la photo exactement de la photo que je souhaite », a expliqué l'artiste au site web Mashable.
Il souhaite continuer son projet ailleurs dans le monde — l'architecture de New York, entre autres, l'inspire — et le partager sur son compte Instagram, @paperboyo.

Rooftop Sleeps, Varanasi
Yasmin Mund /2015 National Geographic Photo Contest
I arrived at my guest house in Varanasi at 5:30am, I instinctively climbed the 7 sets of stairs to the rooftop (which happened to be the highest in the vicinity) to see the sunrise over the famous Ganges River. As the sun was rising I looked over the right hand side of the balcony and my jaw dropped with disbelief. Below were families - mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sister and dogs all sleeping on the top of their houses. It was mid summer in Varanasi and sleeping sans AC was difficult.Location: Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India

Sunset Mountain Work

Nepal is a special place to me for a number of reasons and I was fortunate enough to go back to see the Himalayas on a trek that offers amazing views of Mount Dhaulagiri and Mount Annapurna. The mountain landscape continued to blow my mind! After a strenuous and exhausting 6 hour trek to Kopra Ridge, I took this photo of Mount Dhaulagiri at sunset. In the foreground, a local Nepalese man is helping usher his mules up the ridge to a nearby eco-lodge that was in the middle of construction.Location: Thulo Odarkharka, Western Region, Nepal

Enchantment of light and shadows
Kaiti Lillipuu /2015 National Geographic Photo Contest
After the sunset we saw that fog was forming and hoped that it would not fade away till morning so we set our alarm clock 3 hours before sunrise. Then we drove for two hours to the location and along the road we could see through the trees that the bog was fully covered in fog. We quickly set up our octocopter drone and flew over the trees, the opening view was breathtakingly beautiful - sunrays, fog, shadows, pools.Location: Järvakandi, Raplamaa, Estonia
