Picture This: Remarkable Photos Of The Ordinary And Extraordinary
May 8, 2019
They’re ordinary and intimate moments between a grandparent and a grandchild, like a child sitting on a lap or a grandmother reading to her grandchild. Yet, in the hands of photographer Sujata Setia, these images are captured in the most extraordinary way. The London-based Setia is on a mission to convince more of us to capture moments between grandchildren and grandparents and she’s going about it by producing magical photos and giving them away as gifts. Her photos rely on natural light and look almost as though they were paintings- but they’re not. Read more about her mission here, and follow her on Instagram here.
And speaking of magic: Two photographers have put their professional skills to work creating fantasy photos that allow their subjects to travel in time and engage with their younger selves. First, photographer Tom Hussey has created a startling collection of photos capturing older individuals gazing at a reflection of their younger selves. And artist Ard Gelinck applies photoshop techniques to images of current celebrities who then stand side-by-side with images from their more youthful days.
