Yaratıcı insanlar seyahatlerini de yaratıcı bir faaliyete dönüştürebiliyor. Seyahatlerini selfie yerine karikatür karakterlerle anlatan Andreas ve Felicia Hutabarat çifti, beğendikleri mimari yapıları nakışla yorumlayan gezgin çift Charles Henry ve Elin Petronella bunun en güzel örneklerini gösterdiler. Yine Chanel Cartell ve Stevo Dirnberger, dünyanın farklı yerlerinden mimari ve doğal güzellikleri kolajlayarak, Ilya Kazakov ise Tokyo seyahatini illüstrasyonlarla ölümsüzleştirerek ilgi çekmişti. Rich McCor instagram’daki adıyla @paperboyo da fotoğraf ve kağıt sanatını kullanarak Instagram’da büyük ilgi topluyor.

Londralı kağıt sanatçısı, fotoğrafçı ve gezgin Rich McCor, herkesten farklı bir seyahat günlüğü oluşturmanın yolları üzerine düşünmeye başlamış. Bu noktaya gelmesinin nedeni ise birkaç yıl önce Londra’da Big Ben’in (Elizabeth Kulesi olarak da bilinen saat kulesi) önünde çekmeye niyetliği bir fotoğraf olmuş. Çevresindeki fotoğrafçıları gözlemlemiş ve herkesin benzer kareler çektiğini fark etmiş. Dolayısıyla kendi memleketi olan Londra’yı yaratıcı bir şekilde nasıl fotoğraflayabileceği sorusunu kendine sormuş.

Hobiden tam zamanlı iş yaratmak

Rich McCor, geçmişte birkaç yıl boyunca kağıt sanatı ile ilgilenmiş. O dönemlerde kağıt sanatı ile animasyon müzik videoları ve kısa filmler yapıyormuş. Böylece kağıt sanatı ve fotoğrafçılıktaki yeteneğini birleştirmeye karar vermiş. Londra’daki ikon yapıları dönüştürmek ve vurgulamak üzere kağıt kesme yöntemiyle birkaç deneme yapmış ve yöntemi uygulamaya başlamış. BBC’de yaratıcı ekipte kariyer yaparken hobi olarak başladığı bu seri, Instagram’da büyük ilgi görmeye başlayınca tamamen kendi çalışmalarına yönelip bunu tam zamanlı bir işe dönüştürmüş. Üstelik de bol bol seyahat edebildiği ve severek yaptığı bir iş.

Rich McCor’un şu anda Instagram’da 395 bini aşkın takipçisi var. Geçtiğimiz yıl Around the World in Cut-Outs adında bir de kitabı basılmış. McCor’u Facebook sayfası üzerinden de takip edebilirsiniz.

Tokyo's 634m SkyTree is the tallest tower in the world. I know what you're thinking- you're thinking Rich you fool, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest tower in the world. But actually the Burj Khalifa is considered a 'structure' and not a tower, hence why SkyTree has the title. I have no idea what the technical difference between a structure & a tower is, so if anyone knows I'm all ears. On a side note I went to the Anata No Warehouse today- it's the place I'll be recommending to friends to when they ask for quirky things to do in Tokyo. Check out my insta stories to see why! #TokyoTokyo @TokyoTokyoOldMeetsNew #TokyoSkyTree #SkyTree #Tokyo #ad

If you’ve come across architect Daniel Libeskind’s work before you’ll know he’s famed for acute angles and bold designs (he’s been involved with projects such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin and MGM Mirage's CityCenter in Vegas). This spearhead extension to the neoclassical building was designed to be a "juxtaposition of tradition and innovation” and it’s a really impressive (but also bizarre) sight to see in person. A friendly reminder that if you are ever in this part of the world, my exhibition is just down the autobahn in Schloss Lichtenwalde until January 2019 #Dresden #Saxony #Germany

My creative process is something like this- Step 1. Look for quirky architecture. Step 2. Play around with ideas (this can take anything from five seconds to five days). Step 3. Head to the location. Step 4. Get snapping. Step 5. Have a cuppa (optional). If you want to give what I do a go then I've made things simple by teaming up with @surface_uk and together we've designed some cutouts that you can use with the lightweight & easy to use Surface Go to create your own photos in my style. Check out the link in my bio to see the cut-outs and to get all the deats #GoImagine #SurfaceGo

It's been a whopping two years since I spent a week exploring Dubai with some great people. I'll never forget that trip- that was the week I grew a third hand #Dubai #JumeirahET #EmiratesTowers @jumeirahgroup @jumeirahemiratestowers

Back in 1998 France loaned Japan their Statue of Liberty (from it's home in Paris) to celebrate Franco-Japanese ties. The Statue went back home in 1999 but it was so popular that a replica was made so now she's here permanently in Tokyo. There's also a Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas which, in 2010, the US Postal Service mistook for the real one in New York and printed on it's stamps. However it's not an exact replica so the artist behind the sculpture, believing his statue's features to be different enough, sued the US Postal Service for illegally using his design. A federal court agreed with him and ordered the post office pay him $3.5m in compensation! So to make sure I don't get in any copyright trouble I've embellished this one here in Tokyo with my own design ?#TokyoTokyo @TokyoTokyoOldMeetsNew #StatueOfLiberty #Odaiba #ad

The NFL is coming to London this week so to make the teams feel welcome I've brought some iconic American landmarks to the City. For the Oakland Raiders to feel more at home I've put the Golden Gate Bridge over The Thames @visitcalifornia #VisitTheUSA @visittheusa #ad

Godzilla's original name was Gojira, which is a blend of the Japanese words Gorira (Gorilla) and Kujira (Whale). In fact by the first draft of the original film the monster didn't even have a name – the script was titled Kaihatsu keikaku G (Development Plan G), with the G standing for Giant. When the film came out it was a massive hit in Japan so Toho Studios wanted to release it in America, but worried about the title’s marketability abroad, they re-named him Godzilla #TokyoTokyo @tokyotokyooldmeetsnew #Tokyo #Godzilla #ad

Back in 2012 this was the scene of one of the most famous escapes in Japanese history. The fugitive – known only as 337 – scaled up a sheer rock wall, miraculously squeezed through a barbed wire fence, swam out into Tokyo Bay and managed to remain in the water for weeks eluding capture. Daily searches were conducted and on one occasion he was spotted resting near an estuary but by the time the Japanese coastguard arrived, 337 was gone. It took eighty-two days in total until the authorities finally managed to capture him. By the time they returned him here to Tokyo Sea Life Park, he had become a local celebrity. As you may have guessed 337 was a Penguin. True Story #TokyoTokyo @TokyoTokyoOldMeetsNew #TokyoSeaLifePark #ad

I've lost count of the number of times I've heard people say "I'm not the creative type". I want to hold their face and say "Oh but you are" (but that would be weird, so I don't). Point is everyone has the ability to imagine & create and it's about finding the right tools & a little bit of willpower to make it come together. So I've teamed up with @surface_uk to help spark people's creativity (especially kids') by designing some simplified versions of my cut-outs that you can use with the new Surface Go (check out the link in my bio for all the deats) #GoImagine #SurfaceGo
