Silhuettitaiteilija näkee maailmasta kauniimman puolen

Rich McCor on melkoinen Instagram-velho. Brittiläistaiteilija katselee maailmaan luovalla silmällä ja löytää uskomattomia näkökulmia arkiseen elämään. McCorin tekniikkana on tehdä paperista silhuetteja, jotka hän istuttaa saumattomasti erilaisiin maisemiin. Turha selittää sen enempää, antaa kuvien puhua puolestaan.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Here's an entirely unrelated photo I took in Norwich today. I occasionally get asked if I plan my ideas before I go somewhere or if I get my ideas on the spot. Usually it's the former but this one was an on the spot idea- so I popped into a coffee shop, traced around a vector design, cut it out, downed my coffee & then shot the image. Boom! Enjoy your weekends everyone

 

 

We’ve docked in Barcelona for the day and if you’ve been paying attention you may have picked up on the fact that quite a few of my cut-outs on this trip have had an aquatic/sea theme as an ode to being on a cruise ship for the past nine days. So here in Barcelona it made sense to do a photo with the Torre Agbar, home to the Barcelona water company. This is the last official stop on my cruise with the Princess team, however they’ve kindly let me stay on board so that I can get off in the Azores (somewhere I’ve always wanted to go), so I’ll be sharing a couple of photos from the islands next #comebacknew #PrincessCruises #PassionPassport #TravelAwesome #igTravel #WanderLust #Travel #Holiday #Vacation #Cruise #CruiseLife #InstaCruise #StreetArtLovers #ForcedPerspective #Funny #TravelStoke #Paper #PaperArt #Art #Silhouette #Penguin #Barcelona #Spain #TorreAgbar

On the Royal Princess, the mega cruise ship I’m on, there’s a unique feature that it shares only with its sister ship, called the SeaWalk. It’s a glass bottomed walkaway that extends out over the sea. This view is it from below, but when you’re walking on it and looking down whilst speeding through the waves it’s a bit of a trip. They’ve wisely built a bar next to it so you can sip cocktails and laugh at the other passengers as they walk across it with varying amounts of terror #comebacknew #PrincessCruises #PassionPassport #TravelAwesome #igTravel #WanderLust #Travel #Holiday #Vacation #Cruise #CruiseLife #InstaCruise #StreetArtLovers #ForcedPerspective #Funny #TravelStoke #Paper #PaperArt #Eye #Eyelash

I had one of the most lavish and finest dining experiences on board the Royal Princess. They have a thing called "The Chef's Table", which is a multi-course meal (I lost track of how many courses) that’s designed, directed and prepared by the on board Michelin starred Chef, David McDonald Greves. The first part of the experience involves going into the ship’s galley for hors d'oeuvres, champagne and a look around (which is when I took this snap when one of the chefs had his back turned). Then after this the Maitre d' seated us at a private table in the middle of the dining room and then, and this was my favourite bit, he absolutely nailed it with his timings. He clicked his fingers once and a glass curtain dropped perfectly around the table, he clicked again and music began playing and then he gave a small nod and the waiters seemed to magically appear with the food. It was like meeting Dumbledore…except he didn’t have a beard #comebacknew

I’m in Toulon and up the road from here lives Reynald Delille, one of the most interesting wine producers in the world. Many say he produces the best rosé in the world at his vineyard in Domaine de Terrebrune, but he refuses to enter competitions to cement his status. Instead he only wants his wine in the most exclusive of hotels and in the finest wine cellars around the world. However he sells his wine locally at an affordable price so that anyone in the region can try it. So anyone visiting Domaine de Terrebrune can buy one of the finest wines in the world for a great price- almost like you could have it on tap (see how I managed to link the photo to the caption there?) #comebacknew

Pisa had been occupied by the Nazis in WWII, but in 1944 the US army was advancing. The tower, or as the US soliders referred to it the “Tiltin’ Hilton”, was suspected of being used by the Nazis as a lookout tower, so Staff Sgt. Leon Weckstein was tasked with scouting the Tower to confirm their suspicions. From a nearby olive grove, he peered through his binoculars looking for signs of life; his order was that if saw movement he would call ‘fire’ down the radio and the tower would be demolished in seconds. But just as he studied the landmark, bombs exploded nearby and Weckstein was ordered to retreat. Had he seen anyone in the tower, the famous landmark may not still be standing today. In an interview with the Guardian in 2000 he was asked if he thought the Germans were in the tower: “You know something? I’ve had 50 years to think about it, and I’m pretty sure they were.” (Head to @princesscruises to see more images) #comebacknew

Have you ever heard of the word naumachia? Until I got to Rome I hadn’t either, but it’s a word the Romans used to describe simulated naval fights - they were like gladiator battles on a bigger and wetter scale. Sometimes special structures were built and other times lakes were used, but there is evidence that the colosseum was once turned into a gladiatorial water world for a naumachia (the more you say that word, the more addictive it becomes). According to the Roman historian Cassius Dio, a sea fight took place in the amphitheatre in 86 AD. Ships, weapons and thousands of men were brought in and since every effort was made to make a naumachia (I bet you’re saying it out loud now) a colossal event, even sea creatures were shipped in from around the globe - hence why I put an octopus inside the colosseum, because y’know when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Time to hop back on board Royal Princess and head up the coast to the port of Livorno to visit Florence. (Head to @princesscruises to see more images) #comebacknew

At the end of last summer, I did something I’ve never done before; I went on a cruise. I spent nine days aboard Royal Princess, the ship christened by HRH the Duchess of Cambridge (and featured in the ITV documentary The Cruise). It’s one of the biggest and flashiest cruise ships in the world. It’s longer than the Eiffel tower and taller than Tower Bridge, and with nineteen decks I found it very easy to get lost on board. So, over the coming days I’m going to show you around the ship as well as share some photos from places that we stopped including Rome, Florence, Pisa and Barcelona #comebacknew

Last month I went behind the scenes at Gatwick Airport which meant wearing a very bright high-vis jacket, having my tripod blown over by an A380, deciphering radio messages from the control tower and being driven around the runway like a boss. It was genuinely one of the most fun experiences I’ve had (except having to fix my tripod on the runway). I was at the airport to take a series of photos for @gatwickairport to highlight some of the destinations they fly to, starting off with this one of the control tower as the Statue of Liberty’s torch. The rest of the series will be in popping up in my takeover on @gatwickairport this week -so go follow them. And keep an eye on my Insta Stories this week for some behind-the-scenes images of me capturing the photos in my eye-catching high-vis jacket #gatwick #gatwickairport #newyork #statueofiberty #paperart #airportlife #airport #travel #NY #America #USA #holiday #wanderlust #passionpassport #travelawesome #neverstopexploring #destinationearth
