Photos of famous monuments in the world Taken The Other Way


Take a famous monument in the world, and look at pictures of him on the Internet or your own albums, if you have visited the place. Not they all look the same? Of course, there are all sorts of angles, but the cameras are pointed at the landmark. But if for once, someone had to turn back, pointing their cameras away from the terminal in the opposite direction, and snapped a picture, would you be able to guess where it was taken?


The photographer Oliver Curtis has done this for the past four years. It started in 2012, when he was visiting the Giza Pyramids in Cairo. Curtis turned and looked in the direction he had come. What he saw fascinated him so much that he made from a point of turning its back on some of the most photographed monuments in the world and historical sites, looking at their against-views and forgotten faces.

Oliver feels that, despite the landmark not to be present in photography, images are always bathed with the aura of the building. The camera lens is effective as a nodal point and, giving the photograph as invisible partner, this duality becomes a virtue.


Oliver Curtis unusual photographs will be exhibited at an exhibition called Turnaround in London in September.
