Thus was born a beautiful series of traffic light photographs captured on a foggy night in Weimar, Germany.
The life of a ballet dancer is not easy. At first glance, a light and graceful dance hides a lot under ballet slippers. Ballet is a garage "sport" that requires strict discipline and a high pain threshold.

Some famous names were captured in the privacy of their homes by photographer Damon Dahlen.

He discovered an Amazonian tribe that had no contact with the outside world and until now no one knew of their existence.

According to Survival International, over 100 intact tribes still live in the world today.
Photographer Benjamin Von Wong is a fan of underwater photography, and for the past year he has been tackling 'boring' topics such as climate change and wildlife conservation with his photographic projects. With their latest project, Mermaids Hate Plastic, they keep this trend going. This time he tackles plastic pollution. If the previous two subjects were much more grateful for the lens, this time too he managed to create fascinating scenes from seemingly unphotogenic subjects. He employed underwater girls and created a sea out of 10,000 bottles – the amount the average American would consume in a lifetime. The project draws attention to the pressing problem of plastic pollution.
