British photographer Rich McCor, better known by his stage name Paperboyo, saw great potential in architecture. With the help of paper silhouettes, he created his own parallel world with which he enthralls his followers.

Paperboy is by using the geometry of the space and various cutouts of black paper and with the help of tourist attractions created really fun and interesting scenes. So you will see how in his works Arc de Triomphe in Paris playfully transforms into a giant LEGO figure. Or how Regent Street, the main shopping street in London's West End, turned upside down, becomes a rowing canal.

What motivated photographer McCor for this form of photography?

"I decided to become a tourist in my city. I wanted to see London, which I had ignored, to explore the sights and history. I started researching interesting facts and thinking about how I could photograph sights in an original way.”

His first creation was London's Big Ben. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a full-time passion when his pictures started going viral on Instagram. Today, he is followed by more than 518,000 people on Instagram.
