How Landscape Photos Are Really Made

Earth is beautiful and full of surprises. So is Matthew Albanese, a New York-based artist, creating stunningly realistic landscapes from everyday objects and photographing them as if they were a part of the earth. Albanese named his project “Strange Worlds” for it really is strange to see coral reefs made from walnuts, or mountains built from cinnamon. Being a professional photographer and using various shooting techniques, Matthew is able to alter the appearance of materials and create images that seem perfectly natural.

For those daring to doubt his skills, Albanese has prepared some sneak-peek images of his installations at their early stage, allowing to see the construction process and the difference between the diorama and the final result.

20 Classroom Portraits From Around The World

English photographer Julian Germain traveled round the world, visiting countries from Yemen to Brazil to take every-day classroom pictures without telling the children to pose or adopt any certain mood. These pictures may not look as impressive one by one, but when you go through the whole album, the cultural and social differences strikingly reveal on children and their environment.

Julian took his first classroom pictures not long after his daughter started school, and originally never intended for this to become a long-term project. Eventually he would take a class picture in all countries he visited. Regardless of the age or social background of the pupils, Julian used a universal set up for every class he went to. The photographer placed his camera at the eye level of the teacher (who would never be present in the picture), and would only have a few minutes of kids’ concentration to do his work.

All these classroom portraits were then put together in his album titled Classroom Portraits, 2004-2012.

Kalashnikov AK-47 Assault Rifle

Since 1949, the timeless Kalashnikov AK-47 

Assault Rifle has found many homes - and users.

             


 Towards the end of World War 2, when the Red Army had effectively thrust Hitler's
 war machine back across Poland and into Germany itself, the Soviets were regularly 
coming face-to-face with the latest in German military developments. One such development
 was the StG44 (Sturmgewehr 44 = "Storm Rifle") which was, in essence, the first truly 
successful and quantitatively-deployed weapon of its kind - a weapon now categorized 
as an "assault rifle". The assault rifle breed was shorter in length the standard-issue 
service rifles found within many armies of the time and could fire a similar cartridge
 while possessing the automatic firepower capabilities of a machine gun. Such
