There is a kind of tourism in the world, which consists in traveling to those places where famous films were filmed. For example, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world come to New Zealand every year, where the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie sagas were created. A journalist and photographer Christopher Moloney searches the city streets for famous movie spots and returns them to their former glory. At least in my photographs.

We have already talked about the unusual work of Christopher Moloney, a journalist and photographer who wholeheartedly loves cinema and knows a lot, a lot about this art form. He studies the streets of the cities he visits, finds places where certain films were filmed, prints frames from these films, and then takes pictures, combining fiction and reality in them. And he called his original creative style FILMography (a combination of the words "film" and "photography").

He brings movie characters back to the streets of the cities where they wandered in famous films, puts them in those places and situations that are loved by millions of fans around the world.

For example, the heroine of Audrey Hepburn from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Christopher Moloney returns to the window of a famous jewelry store, the heroine of Brittany Murphy from the movie "City Girls" - to the bridge in the middle of Central Park in New York, the heroine of Christian Bale from the thriller "American Psycho "- into the hall of a residential building, where he shot a man.

Of course, most of the FILMography photographs were taken by Christopher Moloney in New York. But this city is one of the main world centers of cinema, where hundreds of famous or even legendary films were shot, and literally every corner of this metropolis appeared in a movie or television series!
