A good photo, just like in sports, sometimes requires some or a lot of "sporting luck". No matter how good a photographer we are, sometimes we have to be in the right place at the right time. The Coincidence Project is a project by London-based photographer Denis Cherim, which documents the incredible coincidences that accompany us at every turn and that will open up a new perspective on the world.

Who says that only politics separates! There is another way to put people on two sides. Optical illusions! Let's recall how the famous blue-black (or was it gold-white?) dress divided Internet users. Now there is a new challenge for all "internet users". Guess who's hugging who in this photo?
Engagement is an important step on the way to marriage. It is a formal introduction to the beginning of a life together, which is crowned by the happiest event in life for most - the wedding. It's just as intimate an event, recognized by the kneeling, the engagement ring and the question: "Would you marry me?" How we do it is a matter of personal decision compared to a wedding, which has more "rules". Some are traditional, while others turn on the imagination and are very original. Below, take a look at the most beautiful engagement photos, which are just as romantic as wedding photos.
Do you remember the couple who made us long for vacations in exotic places with photos in which the girlfriend leads her chosen one by the hand to dream destinations? Four years later, a Taiwanese couple made a parody of the famous #FollowMeTo photos, in which we were following Murad Osmann and Natalie Zakharova. You will laugh until you cry!
Annelies Maria Francine is indeed very young, but "her" style is already timeless. Her transformations into (style) icons of the past are so extraordinary that you will have to look twice to realize that it is not Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh and Anne Frank, but a young Belgian.
Photographer Joshua Hoffine is no ordinary photographer. His scenes are like scenes from horror movies. This also applies to his family photos, in which we are used to smiling faces, but the worst we have experienced is some kind of sour smile, or we are horrified because we look downright desperate in it. Well, the family photos of this American will make you cringe. From real horror, because they resemble scenes from the films of horror masters, but not a family album! Photos that will give you nightmares!
People are willing to risk their lives for many things. For a higher goal, as already evidenced by the Greek tragedy, professions such as firefighter, policeman and rescuer have this written right among their work tasks. They put their lives on the line every day by saving others. It's a noble cause, but the same cannot be said for people who are willing to risk their lives for a photo! See the photos that people were willing to risk their lives for.
People have become obsessed with taking pictures of food. If in the past people crossed themselves before eating and said a prayer, today most people take photos of their meal. We've even become so obsessed with letting our food in restaurants cool before we bite into it, because we're more obsessed with posting a photo on Instagram than eating it while it's still warm. Instagram has undoubtedly become a paradise for food lovers. Do you know which type of food is the most represented or has the most hashtags? Find out below.

There is no life without the sun, and for the Frenchman Julien Grondin, there is no good photography without the sun. Pipi and Melkijad had their moon, the French photographer has his sun. The "sun hunter" traveled the world for three years, not only to capture the beauty of the world, but also to take portraits with the sun.
Humans do many things with their faces. We manage them one way or another, but we have limitations. José Cardoso, however, imagined what it would be like if human faces were made of plasticine. And so a bizarre series of photographs was born that pays homage to video artist Chris Cunningham (he worked on films such as Alien and Rubber Johnny) and director David Cronenberg (The Fly, Komopolis, Dangerous Method, Videodrome), who are known for scenes that only those with a good stomach can tolerate them.
A picture is worth a thousand words is probably one of the most used phrases. But even if it sounds like such a cliché, it holds true in many cases, and the historical photos that you can see below are the reason that someone once coined this kind of phrase.
