Some masters and lovers of photography argue that you need to hunt for a good shot for a long time, and sometimes even follow it to distant lands, in the snows of Antarctica, under the hot African sun, in the Amazon forests or in the Alpine mountains. In some ways they are right, and indeed, every week we admire the magical photographs from National Geographic, taken in different parts of the world. But a talented photographer Jasper Jamesliving in China does not go far for his phenomenal staff. And a series of photos City Silhouettes, made not only without leaving Beijing, but also without leaving home, is a direct proof of this. Jasper James is one of those fans of the East and Eastern culture who traded old Europe, namely, the capital of Great Britain, London, for the mysterious beauty of Beijing. Yes, at one time he had to travel around the world, taking photographs for magazines in hundreds of cities in Europe, Asia and America, but later the experience and gained practice allowed him to work on the spot, still delighting the audience with wonderful photographs.
The City Silhouettes series of extraordinary photographs is a half artistic, half philosophical photography project. Which shows not only the urban landscapes of the unique Beijing from the height of a skyscraper, but also does it through the prism of human perception. Only the person himself, who perceives his native city from his point of view, we do not see, we only see its silhouette. But nevertheless, the person is the central object, the main character. Both in the photo and on the streets of the city.
A talented photographer, Jasper James, however, has not stopped his fashion photography, advertising photography for magazines and advertising agencies, and is still engaged in travel photography, all of which can be seen on his website.

See the world through the eyes of a child. What We See vs. What Kids See by Jeff Wysaski
Children can be envied by looking at how carefree they frolic in the room or on the street, playing football with a crumpled newspaper, or setting up an ambush behind a pile of cushions. Children can be scolded when, in the heat of battle with an imaginary enemy, they break a table lamp, turn over a vase of flowers, or tear off the cornice in the living room. But children can also be understood if you know with what eyes they look at our, adult world, and at those objects that we use every day in everyday life. Eager to try on

At best, the windows overlook the neighboring house or playground. And at worst, I don't want to talk. American artist and designer Garrett Miller has come up with a way to entertain those whose views from the window leave much to be desired. Naughty and funny
