Circles in the land

First, sorry the temptation to pun on a Belinda Carlisle classic proved too great…today I bring you landscape photography in circles. Tom Storm shoots culutral sights – some iconic, such as Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate – through bubbles. The idea germinated at a festival in Galway where he found himself surrounded by huge bubbles that he started to snap. When he processed the images, he was taken by the amount of detail in them and the World In a Bubble project was born.

Tom has shot all over the US and parts of Europe and the Middle East (above left is a cave monestary in Turkey). His is a two-man job – guess what, you need a bubble blower, normally a willing passerby – and apparently certain weather conditions are not conducive to making bubbles. Tom, don’t even consider London in January.

For South Carolina photographer Marco Suarez, it’s about the presentation of the prints. His landscape photographs, shot mainly in Ireland, are framed in a circle and cost just $50 each from here.

Hands up who’s now considering taking some scissors to their holiday snaps?
