Brad Sloan - one of the many who fell under the spell Manhattan … During a three-day journey through the "Heart of New York", the photographer created a series of panoramic black-and-white shots in which we see breathtaking symmetrical cityscapes, as if mirroring each other.
Manhattan is a city that many dream to visit. Walk along legendary Broadway, see Wall Street, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and relax in the High Line Park - what could be more wonderful. Brad Sloane captured many of the architectural landmarks of this metropolis, his original photographs resemble surreal images with an unusual horizon.
Monochromatic images are built on the principle of mirror reflection, the play of light and shadow allows you to make pictures dynamic and voluminous. The grandiose structures become elements of a whimsical geometric "pattern". Skyscrapers separated by a thin strip of sky, or even "reflected" buildings that completely fill the frame - thanks to Brad Sloan's imagination, real photo masterpieces are born. By the way, the author of the works himself considers photography to be nothing more than a hobby, admitting that he still needs to learn a lot in order to become a real professional.
By the way, Manhattan inspires artists not only for photo manipulation, our regular readers will surely remember the sculpture of Little Manhattan from pure marble, which was carved by the Japanese master Yutaka Sone as a sign of his admiration for the Big Apple.

Some plots are cramped in an ordinary picture, no matter how large it may be. Some artists need a sweep to paint a battle scene.

These are the panoramas that exist in Russia
"Anna Karenina" - a mirror of the "immoral" revolution, or How Tolstoy shook the Russian foundations
At school, they tell a lot of different things about Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina. They do not even ignore the fact that at one time he replaced television series for ladies - he was published in magazines with a sequel (and Tolstoy perfectly understood what he was doing - because of this, he treated his novel with disdain). But what not a single teacher of literature even thought to tell is the fact that "Anna Karenina" actually reflects all the burning issues of the quiet sexual revolution of the late nineteenth century
Uyuni salt flat. The salt of the earth and the mirror of the world
Salt marshes can hardly win a prize in the competition of the most cheerful landscapes: all around is the whistling wind, white salt and baking sun. But if you think saline plains cannot be beautiful, then you are simply underestimating Mother Nature. The colossal Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia is the largest and most beautiful salt plain on the planet, which is sometimes the "salt of the earth" and sometimes the "mirror of the world"
