A UNIQUE WAY TO PHOTOGRAPH THE WORLD’S MOST VISITED LOCATIONS

Taj Mahal, Agra, India

Sometimes, visiting the world’s major tourist sites can be a bit disappointing. They are usually smaller than the versions we see in movies and they're also far busier in reality.

It’s almost impossible to take the perfect photograph without capturing hundreds of selfie sticks.

This photographer has invented a unique way to avoid crowds. He simply features these places from the wrong direction or angle. The series is called Volte-face, and the man behind the camera is British photographer Oliver Curtis.

Lets find out what's hidden behind the scene...
