CAPTURING SOMETHING as recognizable and as photographed as the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty from a completely fresh perspective is no mean feat. Photographers from the EyeEm community have proved that it’s possible. They’re snapping photogenic locations around the world from new angles and shooting travel photography worth celebrating.
Here are our favorite fresh perspectives on bucket list landmarks:
Taj Mahal, India
Take a step back: You could battle to get that classic unobstructed shot of the India’s Taj Mahal, its domes mirrored in the reflecting pool. Or you could capture people and architecture that show the world-famous marble structure within its lesser-seen surroundings.

St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican
Shoot at different times of day to show world-famous sites in a new light. Get an early start and avoid the crowds by taking pictures at sunrise. Or catch illuminated landmarks after dark for atmospheric photography, as Massimiliano did with the Vatican’s St Peter’s Basilica.

Sydney Opera House, Australia
Take a leaf out of Pietro’s book and focus your lens on just a portion of the landmark, even if it means that it isn’t instantly recognizable. Offering a small glimpse of the Sydney Opera House, rather than capturing it in all its glory, gives the viewer the opportunity to instead focus on its patterns, textures and form.
