A new look at old places: surreal cities
American photographer and director Randy Scott Slav offers us to look at the world from a different angle. More precisely, without any corners at all. In his series of photos "Another Perspective", he takes hundreds of pictures, and then creates a 360-degree image from them, and an unusual image.

In this picture called "The Hand of the Lord", the beach seems to be held by a huge rocky hand. Randy travels all over America in search of landscapes for his work. He says that the soothing atmosphere of his work is the complete opposite of his frenzied lifestyle in New York. (Randy Scott Slavin/Rex Features)
"While on vacation with my fiancee, I took a photo called "Big Sur". Northern California is a magical place where majestic elements collide. It's almost impossible to take a bad photo here. We spent the day on a cliff, and clouds were passing under us. It was like I was on a plane. I ran to get the equipment and took a picture of this place. It's just a surreal place."

"The process of photographing these places is the shortest part of creating such photos. The longest thing is to find a place that is worth shooting, and also to find a place from which it is best to shoot. You can't highlight landscapes, so it's worth calculating the time of day when it's best to take pictures. Sometimes it means waiting and watching for a long time." Pictured: Battery Park, New York.
