Swedish photographer Christian Aslund has created a series of photographs in the style of old-school 2D arcades. Climbing the rooftops of multi-storey buildings, he photographed models lying on the streets of Hong Kong. As a result, Aslund rendered a flat 2D world with pedestrian heroes moving through the levels.
Christian Aslund got the idea for a photo shoot in the style of old 2D games after visiting Hong Kong. Having seen the bright streets of this city, the photographer abandoned studio photography and computer processing of photographs.
Aslund created this photo series as part of an advertising campaign for the Jim Rickey shoe brand. In an interview, the photographer said: "Due to the fact that" Jim Ricky "positions itself as a manufacturer of comfortable sports shoes, I decided to show how their sneakers or sneakers will look during daily use on the street."
To create the impression of a two-dimensional space, Christian used telephoto lenses.
When working on the project, Christian Aslund had to face a lot of unexpected difficulties. For example, being on the roof of a house, he needed to come up with some means of communication with the models lying on the ground. Considering that mobile communications are expensive and inconvenient, small walkie-talkies have become the solution to this problem. Aslund said his biggest challenge was finding open roofs, as most houses in Hong Kong have locked doors to their attics. Here the photographer came to the rescue of his old friend, a native of Hong Kong, who found several acquaintances of house managers.

Bookcrossing is a movement that turns the world into a huge library
What do we usually do with the book we read?
