Like any stereotypical tourist, I can’t resist the allure of photographing famous landmarks from the classic, overdone vantage points that have been used countless times before.


There’s something charming about these iconic spots to me; they hold a sense of familiarity that connects me to millions of other tourists who have stood in the same place, gazing up in awe at these wonders of the world in years past. Each clichéd click of the shutter feels like a rite of passage, a way to embrace the joy of being part of the exact shared experience while documenting my personal journey in my own unique way.


From the Eiffel Tower to the Hagia Sofia, these images tell a story of exploration and wonder- both that of millions of tourists from around the world, and of mine. Here’s a collection of some of the most cliché photographs from my archives, each one a testament to my love for these remarkable destinations and the thrill of seeing them through my own personal lens.
