Bright graffiti serve as a real decoration of gray cities, and sometimes it seems that a tempting picture is about to come to life. French photographer Julien Coquentin created a wonderful project "Please Draw Me a Wall" ("Please, paint me a wall"), the participants of which posed as if street drawings had really become an "outlet" to a parallel world.
The entire photo cycle is filled with a premonition of a fairy tale coming to life. A baby with a cage over whose head painted birds fly, a guy with a fishing rod dreaming of catching images of funny fish … In this project, children look very organic, because they are able to look at the world around them directly, sincerely, forgetting about conventions. That is why a crumb with an umbrella, hiding from the paint flowing down the brick wall, makes us smile, and not bewilderment.
Reality and fantasy are inseparable in Julien Coquentin's photographs. Perhaps, for a street artist, such pictures would be the best praise, because this means that street art does not leave people indifferent, bringing a piece of magic and goodness into everyday life.

They apparently do not think about the consequences that such news brings. And what do loved ones and fans of supposedly departed celebrities feel at the same time?

He immediately decided on the topic, since levitation always seemed to him something amazing and very desirable. Of course, Nemchik could not create such photographs on his own, and then friends came to his aid, who are in the pictures and soar in the air, and in the most unexpected and picturesque places. So singing

Quiet world. Silent World Photo Project by Lucie & Simon
There is nothing more terrifying than watching the quiet, absolutely deserted streets of large, densely populated metropolitan areas. Cities in which life is in full swing, regardless of the time of year and day, never fall silent, filled with the hum of cars, conversations of people, music from hypermarkets and children's laughter. But photographers from the duo Lucie & Simon managed to capture the noisy squares, streets and alleys of megacities quiet, deserted and lonely. The photo project is called, Silent World or the World immersed in silence
Alive and inanimate in the photo project Noemie Goudal "Les amants"
An unusual project "Les Amants" by photographer Noemie Goudal is to combine living and nonliving, nature and plastic. Huge photographic images exist in close contact with the forest landscape, creating a strange feeling of theatricality of what is happening, and a beautiful waterfall, which at first glance does not cause the slightest suspicion, turns out to be plastic wrap spreading along a ravine
