How would you react if you were stopped in the middle of the street by a man with a camera and asked to see how the bird flies out? Surely suspiciously, if not hostile, they would have turned around and left. Perhaps even rewarding the impudent paparazzi with a couple of affectionate epithets. And probably would have offended the famous German photographer Markus Schwarze from the city of Esheburg, which every day goes to "hunt" for portraits on the streets of his native city, and from time to time goes on "photo safari" to other cities and countries. Markus believes that the world is rich in beautiful, interesting faces, and that they live next to us, and real photo models follow the same routes. You just need to look around carefully, paying attention not only to your own shoes, but also to passers-by, visitors to shops and cafes, gyms and theaters. And there is definitely a person who, at the sight of whom, will want to grab a camera, or a pencil and a sheet of paper to take a picture or at least a sketch.
The passion to look at other people's faces led Markus Schwarze to his passion for photography, and then to the creation of an unusual photo project " One Picture every Day". Every day he goes out to the streets with a camera in search of new, interesting faces, and replenishes his collection of photographs, which already contains more than 400 portraits. foreign tourists, and people without a definite place of residence, do not even know how beautiful, individual, interesting they are, and what a striking appearance they have.
Either German passers-by are so trusting, or they see the author as a talented photographer, a real maestro - but they all willingly put their faces under his lens. You can view the complete collection of city street portraits on the Markus Schwarze website.

Some of the celebrities cannot live a day without makeup and, and who can calmly do without a make-up
Every celebrity has their own distinctive, recognizable style. Some give preference to pretentious images, while others, on the contrary, try not to stand out from the crowd, becoming almost gray mice behind the scenes, who are trying once again not to catch the eye of the paparazzi. But one way or another, they all have their own reasons for being who they are. For some, excessive makeup is the norm and a kind of visiting card, and for some, its absence is a call to love ourselves as we are, do not hesitate
