Unexpected Street View Photos

»Canadian photographer Jon Rafman explores Google Street Views and takes screenshots of the most incredible discoveries. ‚With its supposedly neutral gaze, the Street View photography had a spontaneous quality unspoiled by the sensitivities or agendas of a human photographer‘, says Rafman. The original pictures were actually shot by an army of Google’s hybrid electric automobiles, each equipped with 9 cameras on a single pole. That’s why Rafman calls his project The Nine Eyes of Google Street View. (via Demilked)

Room Portraits

Room Portraits from an extraordinary perspective by photographer Menno Aden. For his series, Aden mounted a camera on the ceiling of different rooms and took top down pictures that put everything in perspective. The impression of surveillance is beautiful played out by the artist to hint at society’s voyeuristic urge. Get a bird’s eye view for a moment!
